Ghanaian comedian Lekzy Decomic, whose real name is Emmanuel Nkansah, has imagined what he would do if he were President of Ghana for just one day. His list of priorities includes tackling child begging, regulating Okada operations, investing in entertainment infrastructure, and improving road construction.

First and foremost, Lekzy Decomic vowed to remove all children begging on the streets of Ghana. "If I were President of Ghana for 24 hours, I would take all these kids that are begging off our streets," he proclaimed. This move comes as a response to the growing issue of child labor and street harassment in the country.

Secondly, the comedian called for a complete ban on Okada, the country's commercial motorcycle transport service. Lekzy criticized the reckless riding habits of Okada drivers, arguing that their actions pose a significant threat to road safety. "I'll also ban Okada because for some reason, they are supposed to be part of us but the way they ride their motors... if you are someone who drives, you will always see how reckless they are," he explained.

In addition to addressing safety concerns, Lekzy Decomic wants to boost the entertainment industry in Ghana by constructing more auditoriums. "I'll also build more auditoriums for the entertainment business because that’s one thing that we need," he said, recognizing the importance of fostering the growth of the sector.

Lastly, to give a personal touch to his imaginary presidential agenda, Lekzy Decomic vowed to fix the road leading up to his own house. This last priority demonstrates his appreciation for the importance of good road infrastructure in everyday life.
