The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has sent a message to Ghanaians and has assured them that he is dedicated to maintaining peace in the country as the 2024 general elections approach. According to TV3 report, Alban Bagbin said that he has always stood for peace for the nation and he will continue to do so.
He made this promise when the Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS) visited him to promote peace and unity during the upcoming elections.
The GNACOPS team was led by Obento Nana Kwasi Gyetuah, the national executive director of the organization. The delegation included teachers and students from selected private schools. They asked Speaker Bagbin to use his influence to ensure peace before, during, and after the elections. They also commended him for his achievements and for being a role model to the youth, demonstrating that peaceful coexistence is a key part of a democratic society.
In his response, Speaker Bagbin emphasized his commitment by stating, “I’m more than committed to the peace of this nation.” He assured the GNACOPS delegation that the elections would be free, fair, credible, and peaceful.
As part of the 30-year celebration of Ghana’s parliamentary democracy, Speaker Bagbin organized a seminar in Tamale to highlight the importance of peace. Experts were invited to discuss the value of maintaining a peaceful society. He also introduced the “Democracy Cup,” an initiative using the nation’s love for football to spread messages about peace.
“The foundation of life is peace,” Bagbin stated. He praised GNACOPS for their efforts in spreading the message of peace, especially by teaching young students, who are the future leaders of Ghana, about the importance of peaceful coexistence.
The visit from GNACOPS really showed their commitment to contributing to peaceful elections and promoting unity across the country.
