National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has called on traditional leaders and the clergy to advise President Akufo-Addo on the importance of ensuring a peaceful transfer of power after the December elections.
His plea comes in response to appeals from the chiefs of Damang/Ahwrese in the Nsawam Adoagyiri constituency for peaceful elections.
Asiedu Nketia criticized the President for allegedly allowing electoral violence and failing to act on recommendations from a committee investigating such incidents.
He emphasized that, preventing destabilization requires chiefs and clergy to hold the President accountable.
“If our nation’s leaders truly desire peace, I urge you to counsel the President to hand over power peacefully as his tenure concludes. He inherited a peaceful nation; let him ensure the same tranquillity prevails when he departs.”
“Respected traditional leaders (Nananom) and clergy, your influence is significant. Speak the truth, and no politician will dare disobey you. Your words carry weight, and we implore you to use your authority to promote a peaceful transition,” he stated.
