Former President John Dramani Mahama has come under heavy criticism for choosing to continue with the planned Unity Walk against the burial of Alhaji Bature.

The late journalist who was a staunch supporter of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Former President Mahama died yesterday January 5, at the Korle-Bu Teaching hospital following a short illness.

His burial which took place today in accordance to the Islamic law coincided with NDC's 5th Unity walk spear headed by President Mahama in Techiman.

Many who were not pleased with the act to continue the walk described the act as disrespectful and selfish.
