President John Dramani Mahama has issued a powerful call for an end to the conflict in Bawku and other troubled areas, urging Ghanaians to embrace lasting peace for the sake of future generations.
Speaking at Ghana’s 68th Independence Anniversary celebrations on March 6, 2025, President Mahama made an emotional appeal for unity and reconciliation.
“The people of Bawku and other areas, it is time for lasting peace to prevail,” he declared.
Quoting Ghana’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, he emphasised the strength of unity over division: “The forces that unite us are inherently and far greater than the divisions imposed upon us.”
Addressing the people of Bawku directly, he assured them of his personal commitment to peace, saying, “I do not speak as president but as your son and brother in whose hand you have entrusted a solemn duty.”
He stressed the urgent need to create a peaceful environment for children and future generations.
“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,” Mahama stated.
President Mahama urged Ghanaians to reject division, mistrust, and the weight of past grievances.
“Let us give renewal of friendship a chance. Let us give peace a chance,” he implored.
The president’s urgent call for peace comes at a critical time as tensions in Bawku and other conflict-prone regions have persisted.
