Lifting the lockdown in Ghana is big mistake – John Mahama
Former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has just suggested via a tweet that the president’s directive to lift the partial lockdown in the West African country is a big mistake from the authorities.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer took to social media to register his disapproval of the President’s move.
According to the former head of state, many health experts are advocating for an extension of the partial lockdown. Others are even calling for a total lockdown of the whole country to salvage the Coronavirus pandemic and corresponding issues.
He tweeted,
“Recent developments have made it clear, the extent of the spread of the virus. The last report put the number of confirmed cases at 834. Many health experts continue to suggest the necessity and appropriateness of an extension of the restrictions on movement.”
President Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo Addo in his 7th address of the Nation on coronavirus, he lifted the partial lockdown imposed in some parts of the country despite the advice of John Mahama.
He, however, stated that the ban on all social gatherings and the closure of all schools is still working.
