It will be the youth that will rise up and take to the streets one day like what is happening in Hong Kong and it will bring everything to a standstill. And you can\u2019t vote, they will rebel against everything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He indicated that he is currently organizing series of talk programmes for the youth in various educational institutions across the country to encourage them to desist from any form of acts that could breed violence in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to him, from God\u2019s point of view, there are great things in store for Ghana\u00a0but cautioned that \u201cwe shouldn\u2019t also under estimate the power of evil.
