The opposition NDC will embark on a nationwide weeding exercise in honour of their flagbearer former President John Mahama, the party has said in a statement.

Mr. Mahama last week cleared the weeds in the midsection of the road leading to the Military cemetery in Accra to improve visibility along the road. He did the exercise with his security detail.

The move by the former President has divided opinions in the country.

A statement announcing the action by the opposition party said: “This is to bring to the attention of all constituency organizers that the party shall observe a nationwide weeding and cleanup up exercise on Saturday 16th November 2019 in all Regional and District capitals in honour of the flag bearer of the NDC, HE John Dramani Mahama.

“Last week, the Flagbearer of the NDC resummoned the spirit of the National Sanitation Day which was introduced by him, when he led his security detail to weed the midsection of the road leading to the Military cemetery in Accra to improve visibility along the road.”
