Former President John Mahama
Former President John Mahama has condemned the activities of the western Togo movement and warned that Ghanaians will not see them divide the country.
He said that Ghana was a sovereign republic and that no one had the right to claim part of Ghana, so the group’s activities should not be entertained.
Commenting on the group’s activities while addressing the Jinijini chiefs and people as part of his Bono regional tour, Mahama said that the secessionist group’s actions could be dire for the country if copied by other ethnic groups.
His comment follows a series of attacks perpetrated by members of the Homeland Study Group Foundation last Friday in the Volta region.
United ghana
He said that the beauty of Ghana was the harmony with which its citizens had lived with each other over the years.
“The land of Ghana belongs to Ghana, Ghana is a sovereign republic and no one can claim a part of Ghana. When Rawlings built Ghana, we were all part of it, ”he said.
“We all came together to make Ghana, so that we can’t just stand by and watch some people take Ghana. If so, then everyone will be tracking your story and coming for a piece of your part, which won’t be a good thing. What unites us is the fact that we are all Ghanaians, ”said Mahama.
Illegal minery
In another development, former President Mahama has stated that his next government intended to streamline activities in the illegal mining sector to ensure responsible mining, reports Biiya Mukusah Ali of Dormaa-Akwamu / Wamanafo.
According to him, the next NDC government would establish a gold mining board in each district to ensure the management of gold mining activities.
Mr. Mahama was speaking with the chiefs and people of Wamanafo and Dormaa Akwamu in the East Dormaa district of the Bono region as part of his three-day campaign tour in the region.
The former president and his entourage explained issues in the Popular Manifesto, the 2020 NDC manifesto, which addresses the specific needs of the areas he visited.
Gold board
Mr. Mahama explained that the gold mining board office would be run by graduates of the Tarkwa University of Mines and Technology who had acquired knowledge in mining.
He explained that under the new policy, miners with limited tools and equipment would receive support to help increase their production and also ensure responsible mining.
Recovery
He explained that as part of the policy, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of gold would go to the operation of the Gold board, which would include land reclamation.
Mahama said his main goal was to take advantage of these opportunities to create jobs for the country’s large number of youth.
Ensure peace
Dormaa Akwamu’s Omanhene, Nana Ampabeng Kyeremeh, reminded politicians that Ghana was bigger than any political party and urged them to ensure peace before, during and after this year’s elections.
He encouraged the former president to run his campaign based on what he had done in his previous government. –
