The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has admonished President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to take swift and decisive action to restore law and order following the post-election violent incidents recorded across the country.
The GJA described the incidents as lawless and urged the President to deal with it.
Some persons suspected to be supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have engaged in acts of vandalism of some state facilities.
Commenting on the situation, President of GJA, Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, said it was important the President deal with the situation to safeguard national stability.
He went on to call on political leaders, civil society organisations, and all stakeholders to join efforts in de-escalating tensions and promoting peace.
“We are calling on the President of the Land, who is still President until January 7 and is the Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to ensure that there is law and order and to ensure that Ghana remains as peaceful as it was before and during the elections.
“I know it is his constitutional mandate to do that, and once he is still at post, we call on him to ensure that the security rises to the task to calm the tension of Ghanaians down.”
