Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Former President John Dramani Mahama has accused the Akufo-Addo administration of crossing several red lines in Ghana\u2019s democratic practices.<\/b><\/p>\n

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) said President Akufo-Addo has put political convenience ahead of democratic consolidation.<\/p>\n

This, in his view, has left Ghana poorer.<\/p>\n

In a post on his X platform, he said \u201cThe Nana Akufo Addo and Bawumia-led administration has crossed many red lines in our democratic practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir deliberate acts of putting political convenience ahead of democratic consolidation have left Ghana\u2019s 4th Republic the poorer for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another development, Mr Mahama expressed worry about the attitude of African governments targeting businesses owned by their political opponents.<\/p>\n

He stated that part of the problem for not having more rich African businesses is that governments turn to target businesses created by their political opponents.<\/p>\n

To that end, he has urged the African government not to act in ways that destroy businesses.<\/p>\n

Answering questions in a panel discussion during the 2nd edition of the the Afro-heritage Conference and Awards in Lagos, Nigeria, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) said \u201c<\/b>We must not be afraid for our business people to succeed, we must not be afraid to have rich Africans.<\/p>\n

Mr Mahama also made a case for African leaders to take seriously investment in young people to make innovations that will affect the ordinary citizens on the continent.<\/p>\n
