Former President
of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has advised Ghanaians to eschew greed and
divisiveness as the country marks 66 years of Independence from Colonial rule.
The former
President in a post on his Facebook page urged Ghanaians including members of
the government “to acknowledge our common but differentiated roles and
responsibilities in order to deliver our best service to build the Ghana we
want together.”
“Happy and a
reflective 66th Independence Day to us all. We can, obviously, make our
independence from colonial rule count if we put our minds to the task and
eschew greed and divisiveness in all sectors of our national life. I also know
political leadership has a greater responsibility towards making Ghana great
and strong again.
“I, therefore,
urge every Ghanaian including members of government to acknowledge our common
but differentiated roles and responsibilities in order to deliver our best
service to build the Ghana we want together.
“Happy Independence
Day!”
Meanwhile,
former President Mahama has urged President Nana Akufo-Addo to sacrifice funds
being used to organize this year’s Independence Day celebration to fix the
shortage of child vaccines that has hit the country.
Mr Mahama who
was speaking during an interaction with National Democratic Congress party
delegates in Mepe in the North Tongu Constituency of the Volta Region, on
Saturday, said he was left worried when he read about the vaccine shortage in
the media.
He believes the
elaborate celebration is needless in the face of all the economic challenges
that currently confront the nation.
”Today I was
very sad when I was reading in the media, and it said that for the very first
time in the 4th Republic, since 1992, today we are short of some childhood
vaccines.”
