President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has reassured the nation of the government’s dedication to ensuring a peaceful election as the December 7 polls draw near.
In a recent address on May Day, the President emphasized the importance of the ‘See Something, Say Something’ campaign in maintaining peace and security.
The ‘See Something, Say Something’ campaign encourages citizens to report any suspicious activities that could threaten the peace of the country. President Akufo-Addo affirmed that the government would spare no effort in intensifying this initiative to safeguard the nation’s peace.
Furthermore, the President highlighted the government’s efforts in resourcing and reforming governance and security institutions to enhance their efficiency and independence. These reforms are crucial in the face of global terror threats and socio-economic challenges that continue to pose a risk to the nation.
President Akufo-Addo also acknowledged the essential role of workers in the growth and success of the country. He commended workers for their contributions and emphasized the significance of their participation in shaping the upcoming elections. The President reiterated the importance of securing peace not only for the elections but also for the stability of the labor front.
As International Workers’ Day, or Labour Day, was celebrated on May 1st, the theme for this year’s May Day in Ghana was “Elections 2024: The Role of Workers and Social Partners in Securing Peaceful Elections for National Development.” This underscores the crucial role that workers and social partners play in ensuring peaceful elections and national development.
In conclusion, President Akufo-Addo’s message on May Day serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to uphold peace and security, particularly in the lead-up to the December elections.
