very sad day in the history of our land, Ghana, it also gives birth to a

the soul of the late president has sacrificed itself for the people of

Ghana, and that Ghanaians should pray for his soul to rest in perfect

peace, as this paves the way all asunder to bury their differences and come

together as one to build a Ghana where respect, honor and integrity rules

our nation.

weaponry, hence Ghanaians should be mindful of the utterances that the NPP

of unity that puts the national interest first in all matters to enable us
