The NDC in a press release dated February 19, 2020, described the act as vindictive and nepotistic totalitarianism on the part of the Akufo-Addo-led government.
“This is clearly an act of cowardice driven by Akufo Addo’s insatiable desire for vindictiveness and nepotistic totalitarianism. This Demolishing exercise constitute an act of economic brutality targeted at a hardworking young businessman,” the statement read.
