The Greater Accra Region Chamber of Chiefs has condemned the unrest and violence in the wake of the 2020 general elections, calling for calm.
Nii Okwei Kinka Dowuona VI, chairman of the Accra Region Chamber of Chiefs, in a press release, said that the electoral process is governed by laws that urge those who disagree to use proper procedures to seek redress.
“We believe these events will undermine the fundamental peace and freedom upon which our country is built and what we all currently enjoy.”
He said the election has been hailed as a success by observers who stressed that such acts did not bode well for peace and unity.
He said such acts could fuel disunity, division and hateful traits and should not be encouraged.
“Ghana has earned the respect and admiration of many other nations due to the peaceful and legal manner in which a previous electoral dispute was resolved.
“Therefore, we not only condemn these acts of violence and criminality, but we request that all well-meaning Ghanaians who love this great nation desist from participating in them,” he said.
“It is our collective responsibility to ensure that this country remains at peace and continues to be a beacon of hope in Africa.
“Ghana is our only home, so let us work together to ensure that, in the words of our national anthem, Ghana remains great and strong,” the statement said.
