Presidential Candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has accused President Akufo-Addo of being a democratic dictator.

He says although the President prides himself in being a human rights lawyer, he has become intolerant of divergent opinions and resorts to intimidating persons who criticize his government.

“One of the things the NPP uses is fear. If you criticize the administration, they will come after you, dismiss you, threaten you or kill you in some instances,” he said.

In addition to alleging that government is responsible for deliberately interfering with his media campaign, the NDC flagbearer cited calls for media freedom under the current administration as case in point.
