Let’s forgive each other – Nana Addo urges Ghanaians

President –elect, Nana Akufo- Addo has condemned acts of post elections violence in some parts of the country allegedly being perpetrated by supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following the party’s victory, and urged Ghanaians to forgive one another, and exhibit kindness.

The leadership of the outgoing National Democratic Congress has claimed that supporters of the NPP were attacking their supporters without any provocation.

National Chairman of the party Mr. Kofi Portuphy addressing a press conference charged members of the party to defend themselves if they are attacked.

However, the executives of the NPP have denied these allegations and accused NDC executives of deliberately fabricating those stories just to make NDC unpopular following their defeat in during the December 7 polls.

But addressing NPP supporters at a thanksgiving service held at the Accra Sports Stadium, Nana Akufo- Addo expressed unhappiness about the developments saying “I do recognize that there have been some instances of misconduct and altercation that should not have happened. Such behaviour is unbecoming of us.”

He further called on Ghanaians to act with kindness and forgive each other.

“I call on all Ghanaians to act with kindness, generosity and magnanimity towards one another and to forgive anybody who has wronged or hurt you.”

Nana Addo also extended his gratitude to Ghanaians whose hard work ensured the party’s victory.

He believes the commitment by various stakeholders including party supporters and the media, inspired the party to forge ahead.

Let’s focus on the task ahead – Nana Addo

Nana Addo was however quick to remind the teeming supporters of the daunting task ahead, saying “even as we praise God for his immense kindness and grace towards our county, we also know we have a lot of work ahead of us. It is a task that we can and will perform with your support and with your hard work, and with your increasing prayers and blessings of the Almighty God.”

“Let us then renew our faith and strength and be ready for the work ahead. I have no doubt at all that we shall succeed. This is the appointed time and I have no doubt at all that the battle is still the Lord’s,” he added.
