In response to allegations that he is behind the arrest and detention of Democracy Hub protestors, President has clarified that he cannot arrest the very people who contributed to his rise to power.
During an interview with France24 TV, the president explained that the protestors were detained due to actions that threatened the peace of the country, not because of their demonstration.
He emphasized that protests played a significant role in his political journey, and he would never seek to harm those exercising their right to protest. "How can a president whose political career was aided by leading protestors have problems with protests?
I don't have problems with protests, and nothing is done in Ghana to prevent people from airing their views," Akufo-Addo said.
