President John Dramani Mahama, speaking at the National Mosque in Kanda, Accra, has made a heartfelt appeal to members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to uphold discipline and refrain from engaging in unlawful acts such as looting.
The President emphasized that the NDC must distinguish itself from the previous administration by demonstrating integrity and respect for the rule of law.
“Many have said it is the same thing the NPP did when they took power in 2017, but that is why Ghanaians have voted them out, and we must not do the same things,” President Mahama remarked.
Call for Exemplary Leadership
President Mahama urged all party members and supporters to focus on governance that serves the interests of all Ghanaians, rather than succumbing to actions that undermine the nation’s democratic values.
He further stressed the importance of setting a new standard for political leadership, reminding the audience that the NDC was voted into power to correct the wrongs of the past and not to replicate them.
Reactions to the Address
The President’s call has been widely praised as a timely reminder of the values and principles expected of the NDC as it takes the reins of governance. Civil society groups and political analysts have lauded his stance, emphasizing its importance in fostering unity and trust among Ghanaians.
Commitment to Accountability
President Mahama’s address also underscores his administration’s commitment to accountability and good governance as pillars for rebuilding Ghana’s economy and restoring public trust.
