Indexing government scandals one at a time
Military and police personnel have seized placards bearing anti-government messages from protesters in Navrongo during President Nana Akufo-Addo’s tour of the Upper East Region Wednesday.
Ahead of President Akufo-Addo’s visit to the Kasena Nankana Municipal Assembly, some citizens lined-up the street with placards that summed up their issues with the President.
Messages such as “Mr President, stop renaming and build your own”, “Mr President, we want dams not dugout”, Mr President, where is our one million dollars?” and “NPP is a scam” were held by the protesters along the street to the assembly.
But the military and police officers were said to have been called in by the Defence Minister Dominic Nitiwul, to clear the protesters from the ground on the basis that those messages were against Nana Akufo-Addo and the government.
