National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has urged traditional leaders and the clergy to advise President Akufo-Addo on ensuring a peaceful transfer of power following the December elections.
His appeal came in response to calls from the Chiefs of Damang/Ahwrese in the Nsawam Adoagyiri constituency for peaceful elections.
Asiedu Nketiah criticized the President for allegedly tolerating electoral violence and not acting on recommendations from a committee investigating such incidents.
He stressed that preventing destabilization depends on Chiefs and Clergy holding the President accountable.
Asiedu Nketiah stated, “If our nation’s leaders truly desire peace, I urge you to counsel the President to hand over power peacefully as his tenure comes to an end. He inherited a peaceful nation; let him ensure the same tranquillity prevails when he departs.”
“Respected traditional leaders (Nananom) and clergy, you possess significant influence. Speak the truth, and no politician will dare disobey you. Your words carry weight, and we implore you to use your authority to promote a peaceful transition.”
