The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has called on Ghanaians to make every effort to maintain peace and unity as Ghana approaches the upcoming December elections.<\/p>\n
In a heartfelt plea, the NDC\u2019s flagbearer underscored the importance of upholding the peace that Ghana has worked so hard to build, warning that it is a treasure that should not be taken lightly, particularly as tensions can easily escalate during election periods.<\/p>\n
Speaking at an event in Yendi in the Northern Region, Mahama reflected on the unique standing Ghana holds within the West African sub-region as a beacon of stability and democracy.<\/p>\n
He reminded the gathering that while Ghana is recognised for its relative calm and the harmony of its people, it is essential to protect this reputation vigilantly.<\/p>\n
He further underscored that Ghana\u2019s peace is not just a matter of national pride but a fragile asset that can be shattered if not carefully preserved.<\/p>\n
Mahama also highlighted that Yendi, where he delivered his speech, has been an example of this cherished peace, especially given its historical conflicts, which have been resolved through dialogue and mutual understanding.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have always been the envy of many countries in our sub-region, where peace has eluded them. Whether in football or politics, even when we disagree, we have always respected each other\u2019s views. The peaceful resolution of various conflicts in Yendi is a testimony of our desire for peaceful existence and progress. But this peace, this gift, precious gift, must never be taken for granted.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we approach the elections, we should never forget that peace is fragile, and like an egg, once it is cracked, it cannot be put together again without the scars showing.\u201d<\/p>\n
