La Pleasure Beach Demolition: Criss Waddle urges gov’t to provide better alternatives before election

Ghanaian musician and businessman Criss Waddle has called on the government to offer meaningful, safer, and enhanced alternatives following the demolition of businesses at La Pleasure Beach in Accra. The demolition took place on Friday, October 2, 2026. In a social media post, Criss Waddle warned that demolition exercises without appropriate alternatives could lead to political consequences for the government, especially among affected business owners and employees.

"When you demolish things at beach fronts, you need to replace it with something meaningful, nicer, and safer. It has to be done before ELECTIONS or the business owners and employees will use it as leverage to vote against you," he emphasized. Criss Waddle stressed that authorities must ensure that affected businesses and workers do not find themselves without viable alternatives following the demolitions.
