Advise Akufo-Addo to hand over power peacefully- Asiedu Nketiah tells clergy

Accra, Ghana - National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has made a passionate appeal to traditional leaders and the clergy to intervene in ensuring a peaceful transfer of power after the December elections.

Asiedu Nketiah urged the respected leaders to advise President Akufo-Addo on the need for a violence-free transition, following concerns raised by the Chiefs of Damang/Ahwrese in the Nsawam Adoagyiri constituency.

Asiedu Nketiah criticized President Akufo-Addo for allegedly turning a blind eye to electoral violence and failing to act on recommendations from a committee probing such incidents.

 “If our nation’s leaders truly desire peace, I urge you to counsel the President to hand over power peacefully as his tenure comes to an end. He inherited a peaceful nation; let him ensure the same tranquillity prevails when he departs.”

“Respected traditional leaders (Nananom) and clergy, you possess significant influence. Speak the truth, and no politician will dare disobey you. Your words carry weight, and we implore you to use your authority to promote a peaceful transition," he said.
