Controversial musician, A Plus, has condemned the government of Ghana for organising a memorial in honour of murdered African American George Floyd while turning a blind eye on other pressing domestic crimes back home.
Floyd’s death has sparked a nationwide protest in America, resulting in destruction of properties and a clash with the police.
Ghana’s Tourism Ministry and other stakeholders on Friday, held an event in honour of Floyd whose death has sparked global protests.
Reacting to the development, Kwame A Plus said there are more pressing issues back home such as the unresolved issue over how local police shot and killed seven unarmed Zongo boys in Kumasi among others.
Below is his full post on Facebook:
Government of Ghana is holding a ceremony in honor of George Floyd but government has not been able to tell us why police shot and killed 7 unarmed Zongo boys in Kumasi and what has become of the investigation because Zongo lives don’t matter.
3 girls went missing in Takoradi but we didn’t hold a ceremony to honor them because Takoradi lives don’t matter.
An unarmed man was shot and killed at Ashaiman during the lockdown but Ashaiman lives don’t matter.
70 Ghanaians died in one accident at Kintampo. We didn’t hold an event to honor them. We didn’t even do DNA to identity those who were burnt beyond recognition so that their families could give them a befitting burial. We just dug a mass grave and pushed all of them into it. That was the end. Today we are holding a ceremony in Ghana to honor George Floyd. But this same government sent police to brutalize peaceful protesters in Adenta who were protesting for a foot bridge. Ghanaians are not blacks. Their lives don’t matter!!!
One day all of us will know who really cares about this country and it’s people. May God grant all of us long life!!!
