Minister for Information, Fatimatu Abubakar, has criticized former President John Dramani Mahama, accusing him of endangering Ghana's democratic fabric with what she describes as inflammatory and reckless rhetoric.
Speaking on Asempa FM's political talk show, Ekosiisen, in Accra on Friday, Madam Abubakar raised concerns over what she claimed to be Mahama's attempts to undermine trust in national institutions and destabilize the political environment as Ghana heads toward the 2024 general elections. "Former President Mahama isn't above the law, and I find it disappointing to hear such criticisms of independent state institutions coming from a former president," she remarked. "His comments raise concerns about his stance on democracy in Ghana, as he seems to expect that any court case involving him or his party must end in his favour.
Is that how the law should be viewed?
Absolutely not.
