President John Mahama has addressed the deep political divisions in the country.
According to him, “there is no NPP Ghana. There is no CPP Ghana or NDC Ghana. There is only one Ghana.”
Acknowledging that not all citizens voted for him or his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), he insisted that the “reset is for all of us.”
He called on Ghanaians to “reject the politics of division and embrace the patriotism of nation-building.”
“Let us disagree without being disagreeable. Let us compete in the marketplace of ideas without treating our opponents as enemies,” he urged, framing national challenges as too urgent and opportunities too precious to waste on conflict.
Recognizing the vital role of citizens abroad, President Mahama also dedicated part of his New Year’s message to Ghana’s global diaspora, labeling them the nation’s “global ambassadors.”
He praised their contributions and successes overseas, stating, “Continue to make us proud.” Moving beyond accolades, he issued a direct invitation.
“When you can, bring your skills, resources, and networks back home. Ghana needs you.”
