Comedian Kwadwo Sheldon has hit at critics of the ruling New Patriotic Party government following what they term an ‘unnecessarily’ long walkway on the newly constructed Madina-Adentan footbridge.

Some Ghanaians have complained about the nature of the footbridge, according to them per the design of the bridge it will take an individual about 5 minutes to cross the road.

Sheldon who took a tour on the footbridge described the complaints as ‘exaggerated’ and ‘unnecessary’.

Reacting to concerns that the footbridge is too long and the design is not the best, he suggested that critics ‘shut up’ rather than go about, making statements when they have very little or no knowledge about the technicalities that went into the construction of the footbridge.

Kwadwo who admitted having made fun of the bridge after news of its completion quickly jumped to the defense of government.

“I was going to shoot a video and laugh at them, jump at the social media craze but I went there and they explained the mechanisms and I understood and realized Ghanaians talk too much”.

“You go and make fun about it on social media meanwhile you don’t know anything”, he said in a video making rounds on social media.

He lauded government for the initiative and efforts at curbing accidents on that stretch and urged all to appreciate the ‘good side’ of the footbridge and discipline themselves since it will serve as an avenue for exercising considering the sedentary lifestyle of most persons.
