Politics
Andrews launched the Ghana Union Movement (GUM) in March 2019. During the event, he described himself as the new Kwame Nkrumah and declared that the "spirit of Nkrumah is back".[2] He hoped to be able to break the duopoly between the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party which have dominated Ghana during the Fourth Republic.[3]
2020 Pandemic
Andrews was keen to have as limited a lockdown period as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic. He gave the Akufo-Addo government a week to relax the social distancing rules or face the wrath of God.[4]
