President John Dramani Mahama has called for an end to the conflict in Bawku and other areas experiencing unrest, urging Ghanaians to embrace lasting peace for future generations.
Speaking at Ghana’s 68th Independence Anniversary celebration on March 6, he appealed to the people of Bawku, emphasizing the urgent need for unity.
“To the people of Bawku and other areas, it is time for lasting peace to prevail,” he stated.
Quoting Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, he underscored the power of unity: “The forces that unite us are inherently and far greater than the divisions imposed upon us.”
Mahama further stressed that his appeal came not just as President but as a son and brother entrusted with a solemn duty.
“Our children deserve to inherit a peaceful land where their dreams are nurtured, not where their nightmares are relived. They deserve to inherit a land where our markets are bustling with trade, not tension and conflict. They deserve schools that echo with learning, not melancholic silence,” he stated.
He urged the people to reject division, mistrust, and past grievances, calling for reconciliation.
“Let us give the renewal of friendship a chance. Let us give peace a chance,” he urged.
