Here’s why Pius Hadzide, Efua Ghartey is trending on X
Efua Ghartey, the newly elected GBA president, is trending on X for Thursday, September 12, 2024, because of this achievement.
Other trending topics are Pius Hadzide, Asamoah Gyan, and the Baba Yara stadium in Kumasi.
Here’s a breakdown of why these topics are trending:
Efua Ghartey
Efua Ghartey, an accomplished lawyer at the Bar and wife of Joe Ghartey, Member of Parliament for Essikado-Ketan, defeated her opponent to become the first ever female president of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA).
Netizens are celebrating her and extending their congratulations on X.
Asamoah Gyan
Netizens have expressed mixed reactions to Asamoah Gyan’s statement about no longer affiliating himself with any political party.
Pius Hadzide
Pius Enam Hadzide, the New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidate for Asuogyaman constituency, is trending after a video emerged in which he promised to facilitate travel opportunities for his constituents, including attendance at the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in America.
Netizens argue that allegations of Pius being involved in visa fraud and racketeering, which led to the deportation of about 60 people from Australia, are true, despite the president clearing him of any wrongdoing.
He has come under heavy backlash from the public for his statements.
Baba Yara stadium
Baba Yara Stadium is trending after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) withdrew its approval of the pitch as venue for the next Black Stars game in the 2025 AFCON Qualifiers, due to technical infractions, including an unsuitable playing field.
If the pitch doesn’t pass approval, Ghana’s game against Sudan on October 11, 2024, will be moved to a neutral venue.

After listening to Pius Hadzide it’s obvious that the CID Officer who investigated him and cleared him on the bases on no wrong doing must be fired or be jailed for collaborating with the ruling government to hide day light crime.

Pius Hadzide’s comment is a disgrace! This is the problem with our selfish, short-sighted politicians—they’d rather promise cheap trips abroad than fix the mess they’ve created at home. We need leaders with real vision, not ones selling our future for votes. #ShamefulLeadership https://t.co/gUDGNCrLJC

It’s frustrating to see leaders like Pius Hadzide make such superficial promises. Instead of focusing on real dev’t and solving our nation’s problems, they’re selling fantasies. Our children deserve better than empty dreams—real leadership should prioritize fixing our economy https://t.co/PuJmWmaujw

This is shameful! A nation once revered as a football powerhouse in Africa can’t even handle the basics. When will we wake up to the reality that our governance is failing because leadership is no longer about service? Public appointments have turned into rewards for loyalty…
