Ex-President, Mr John Agyekum Kufour has stated that Ghana cannot develop if there is no peace.
He has therefore re-affirmed his support towards a peace campaign being embarked on by the United Nations (UN) Eminent Peace Ambassador to Ghana and the Country Director for International Association of World Peace Advocates (IAWPA) Ghana Chapter, Dr Samuel Ben Owusu.
Peace campaigner, Dr Samuel Ben Owusu paid a courtesy call on him on Monday, September 5, 2022 at his residence.
At the meeting, Dr Samuel Ben Owusu who is embarking on a peace campaign dubbed, “Every Life Counts,” sought the support and commitment of Mr John Agyekum Kufour toward a peace awareness campaign and advocacy.
He also asked for his input on national peace and security, especially in the area of the economy and youth unemployment which poses as a security threat to Ghana’s peace.
According to him, the former President was an epitome of peace, therefore it was necessary to seek his support for peace advocacies in the country and beyond.
Mr John Agyekum Kufour assured the United Nations Peace Ambassador of his commitment to National and African Peace development through democratic leadership and social impact.
He also commended the Peace Ambassador and encouraged him on his peace mission work in Ghana and beyond.
“Africa can only develop if we understand the people first and also understand that peace is everything,” he said.
Meanwhile, Dr Samuel Ben Owusu expressed gratitude to the former President for accepting to support the peace mission
