We Are Tired Of Mahama, We Did Not Vote For Him To Come And Remove Us From The Roads – Traders Clash

According to a report posted by on Tuesday, 10th November ptem 2026, traders in Accra clashed with the Accra Mayor and his task force.

The traders spoke at Kwame Nkrumah Circle and other busy bus stops in Accra. They spoke to the media. They sent their message through the media to President John Dramani Mahama. They also spoke directly to the Accra Mayor, Michael Kpakpo Allotey.

One trader said the words clearly. She said, “We are tired of Mahama. We did not vote for him to come and remove us from the roads.” She said they voted for change. They voted for a better life. They did not vote to lose their daily bread.

The traders said the Mayor gave them only 48 hours to leave the bus stops. The order came from the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA). The AMA said traders were blocking bus stops. The Mayor led his task force to pull down wooden stalls. He said the roads must be clear. The traders refused to move. They held their umbrellas. They cried. They shouted.

We are tired of Mahama. We did not vote for him to come and remove us from the roads. That was the main message. The traders repeated it again and again. They said Christmas is near. This is their best season. If they leave now, how will they feed their families? How will they pay school fees?

We did not vote for him to come and remove us from the roads. The traders begged President Mahama to step in. They asked him to stop the Mayor. They said they need a place to sell.

After the post, many Ghanaians reacted on social media. Some Ghanaians said the roads must be clear. They said pavements are for walking, not for selling. They said traders will come back in two weeks if the law is not enforced.

NPP supporters said the traders are right. They said Mahama has failed traders. They said the government should give traders jobs and proper markets first. They said demolition without a new place is wicked.

NDC supporters defended the Mayor. They said the exercise is for order and safety. They said the traders never voted for Mahama. They said Accra must look clean. They said the Mayor will open the Cocoa Board to Kantamanto road in December for Christmas trading.

The fight continues. Traders want to stay. The Mayor wants them to go.
