Popular People's Congress (APC) financier Dr. Hbadan Ayariga justified his decision to abstain from "Kum yen preko" held last Tuesday in Accra.

Although he shares the concerns voiced by the various groups parading the streets, he wondered why he would join such a protest while other flag-bearers such as John Mahama and D & # 39; others in his clbad were remarkably missing.

He revealed that going to such an exercise would also have given people the opportunity to identify him as a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which is not the case.

"The issues raised were very relevant, given the current events in the country where many Ghanaians are facing difficulties due to government mismanagement of the economy, business bankruptcy and frequent attacks. against journalists, "he told the A1 radio in Bolgatanga.

Thousands of people dressed in red on Tuesday joined the Coalition for Social Justice (CSJ) for a protest against what they described as hardships, insecurity and oppression under the current Akufo-Addo government.

Earlier in a statement, former President John Dramani Mahama issued a statement supporting the protest. "Our country is on a downward trend, with an unbearable increase in the cost of living. citizens do not feel safe, yet the government continues to oppress and intimidate the public, including journalists. This state of affairs is a threat to our democracy, especially as the moral society remains indifferent and surprisingly silent about developments in our country, Ghana.

I greet, approve and encourage everyone to come out tomorrow and join the # Kumy3npr3ko protest organized by the Coalition for Social Justice.

There is a lot of anger among Ghanaians and it is starting to show up even among the security services. This event gives all the allied groups who participate in it an opportunity to practice.

It is in our country's interest to stand up and express our disapproval of the Akufo-Addo leadership style, which has experienced unprecedented hardships for Ghanaians.
