Politics Must Not Split Us

Politics shouldn’t turn us against one another. After seeing a heartwarming reunion between former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and President John Dramani Mahama, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a prominent political figure and Akufo-Addo’s cousin, said these stirring remarks.

In Kwahu, a community well-known throughout Ghana for its lively Easter environment, the two esteemed leaders happened to cross paths during the Easter celebration.

During one of Christianity’s holiest seasons, their gathering was intended to be a time of national solidarity and fraternity rather than a political gathering.

In a post on his official Facebook page, former president Akufo-Addo expressed his happiness at seeing President Mahama at the celebrations.

He said that meeting his successor during this year’s visit was especially memorable because he had been going to Kwahu every Easter for almost 20 years.

The reunion wasn’t merely symbolic; it conveyed a powerful message to all Ghanaians that unity, peace, and respect must always come before political disagreements. It served as a reminder to the country that different political parties can still be mature and loving.

Gabby Otchere-Darko responded to the message and the pictures by praising both leaders. He underlined that discord and hostility must not undermine Ghana’s democracy.

Politicians ought to compete fiercely but constructively in order to advance the nation.

It’s lovely to witness this Easter Sunday! For Ghana and her people to succeed, we must compete assiduously, ferociously, and healthily,” Gabby wrote.

The display of solidarity has been praised by many Ghanaians on social media, who say it sets a positive example for the next generation.

This Easter handshake between Mahama and Akufo-Addo has genuinely inspired a message of peace during a period of political unrest.
