A similar march last month was cancelled by the Regional Security Council citing the presence of the president in the region.

Pressure group Volta4Change is set to march against president Mahama, citing the “cloud of hopelessness” that has engulfed the country.

The protest is scheduled for June 4 at Hohoe in the Volta Region.

A similar march last month was cancelled by the Regional Security Council citing the presence of the president in the region.

The group said in a statement the march is to “change the cloud of hopelessness engulfing the country and to preach the message of hope for a better day after John Mahama is kicked out of government.”

It alleged that president Mahama “sensing the nationwide unpopularity with their governance” is scheming to preserve his “scandal-ridden incumbency.”

The group also alleged that: “Due to its rapidly dwindling support within Ghana and especially within the Volta Region, John Mahama has sought to co-opt Togolese nationals as part of his constituency base, bussing them into Ghana where necessary, even to the extent of constructing cross-border roads to facilitate this. Is there no limit to John Mahama’s desperation?

“When it comes to morality, it is completely absent from John Mahama’s DNA. He is pathologically immoral, corrupt, and debased.

“The NDC also has no compunction in using the security forces to employ violence in its desperate attempt to keep its grubby hands on power.”
