President John Dramani Mahama, on Friday, condemned the political clashes that had over the months been registered in the Akyem Abuakwa area of the Eastern Region. He said the area was the home of democracy, since political stalwarts such as J.B Danquah, Sir William Ofori Atta and former President Edward Akufo-Addo hailed from there.
