Many have been calling out former President John Dramani Mahama over what they described as his “silence” over the ongoing Western Togoland saga.
And the NDC flagbearer has broken his perceived silence on the issue.
According to Mr. Mahama, “Ghana is a sovereign republic” and that: “Nobody can claim a part of Ghana”.
“Our father Rawlings put Ghana together. We are all part of the nation Ghana: Ewes, Bonos, Asantes, Dagombas, Fantes.”
“We make up the nation Ghana as one people and, so, we won’t sit aloof for any group to say they want to seceed”.
“If we allowed every group to secede one after the other from the unitary state, what would be left of the country?” he asked.
“What unites all of us is that we identify ourselves as Ghanaians”.
“And what makes the NDC unique is that we don’t discriminate based on ethnic affiliations. NDC governments always unite the citizenry”, Mr Mahama said.
He addressed NDC party supporters in Jinijini as he resumed his tour of the Bono Region.
