The Convenor of the Coalition for Youth Development in Okyeman, Akomane Yeboah, has underscored the importance of showing reverence for the nation’s leaders, both past and present, acknowledging their immense sacrifices for Ghana’s progress.
His remarks follow the group’s petition to Speaker of Parliament, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, over an alleged derogatory comment about JB Danquah.
During parliamentary proceedings, Tamale Central MP, Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, reportedly labeled JB Danquah as a CIA operative and a traitor to the nation.
Speaking to Channel One Newsroom on Friday, March 7, Yeboah urged caution when discussing political figures, emphasizing that they should be held in high regard.
“It is essential that we respect our leaders, those who are gone and those who are alive. We should treasure them because they are the people who laid down their lives for this country. Unsavory comments like this should not be entertained in our body politics,” he stated.
