Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian journalist, Bridget Otoo mentioned that under the leadership of ex-President John Dramani Mahama, dissatisfied citizens were able to openly voice their complaints through demonstrations.
Speaking on the X platform, she observed that Mahama showed dedication to preserving democratic principles.
In her opinion, Mahama’s readiness to accept criticism and permit peaceful protests showcased leadership that values the range of viewpoints in a democratic nation.
She also said that the Akufo-Addo-led government does not operate in the same way, as it relies on autocracy and court orders to suppress opposing opinions.
“Even persons who didn’t like@JDMahama wld admit, he allowed people angry at his administration rant and demonstrate!!!!! It was the right thing to do in a democracy. In this autocracy, the courtocracy, is used to stifle dissenting views,” she wrote.
Bridget Otoo’s comment follows the Ghana Police Service’s filing of an injunction at an Accra High Court to prevent the #DumsorMustStop demonstration.
The organizers, led by Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson, had planned the protest for Saturday, May 25, 2024.
