President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has joined millions of people across the globe to seek justice for black American George Floyd who was allegedly murdered by cops in the United States.
George Floyd was strangled by white cops during an arrest till he suffocated and reportedly died under 8 minutes.
During the incident, the deceased could be heard pleading with the cops to give him room to breathe as he repeatedly screamed “I can't breathe” but his pleas fell on deaf ears as the cops pinned him to the floor till he passed on.
President Akufo-Addo has sought justice for him.
“Black people, the world over, are shocked and distraught by the killing of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, by a white police officer in the United States of America. It carried with it an all too painful familiarity, and an ugly reminder. It cannot be right that, in the 21st century, the United States, this great bastion of democracy, continues to grapple with the problem of systemic racism. On behalf of the people of Ghana, I express my deep condolences to the family and loved ones of the late George Floyd.
We stand with our kith and kin in America in these difficult and trying times, and we hope that the unfortunate, tragic death of George Floyd will inspire a lasting change in how America confronts head on the problems of hate and racism,” he stated in a Facebook post.

Ah Ahh Ahhh !!! This President has no shame. "Papa Concern" kindly remove the log from your eyes before attending to your neighbor. You have Shamefully and wickedly, rejected the Emile Short Commission Report" which sought justice for defenceless people who were brutally attacked and maimed at Ayawaso and yet calling for justice for George Floyd far away in the US. May you and your govt and party continue to live with your conscience. Charity, they say begins at home. It is only a matter of time. This Party.
Mathew 7:5
President Akuffo Addo must seek Justice for many Floyds in Ghana such as Major Mahama, Amed Suale, Yaa Na and forty others who were slaughtered under his watch first before going abroad since charity begins at home.
