President John Dramani Mahama has called for a lasting peace in Bawku.
Delivering his address at the 68th Independence Day parade held at the Jubilee House today, March 6, 2025, the President said peace was important not just for residents but for the next generation that will come after them.
“The people of Bawku and other areas, it is time for lasting peace to prevail.”
He referenced Ghana’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, on the need for peace, saying, “The forces that unite us are inherently and far greater than the divisions imposed upon us.”
Mr. Mahama said, “I do not speak as president but as your son and brother in whose hand you have entrusted a solemn duty.”
“Our children deserve to inherit a peaceful land where their dreams are nurtured, not where their nightmares are relived. They deserve to inherit a land where our markets are bustling with trade, not tension and conflict. They deserve schools that echo with learning, not melancholic silence.”
The President called on the people to reject division, mistrust, and the weight of the past saying “Let us give renewal of friendship a chance. Let us give peace a chance,]’’.
