AFAG to hit streets on March 26

Pressure group Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) has set March 26 for its intended demonstration in Accra.
The demonstration codenamed 'the boiling point demo' aims at mobilising Ghanaians to express their frustrations on what the group describes as the unbearable hardships inflicted on them.
AFAG’s director of operations, Davis Opoku in an interview with Citi News said: “The reason for the demonstration obviously is as a result of the hardships Ghanaians are going through under President Mahama’s leadership.”
Davis Opoku said no amount of threat will stop the demonstration: “It is important to appreciate the fact that at all times we need to cooperate with the police for protection but in this case the indication out there is that Ghanaians are ready for the intended demonstration: any other group that will want to stampede this demonstration we will crush them.”
