Ahead of the African Union day on Monday, May 25th, the flagbearer of the NDC John Dramani Mahama has sent out a heartwarming message to Ghanaians.
The flagbearer in his release reminisced on the moments spent over the years with other heads of states during his tenure as president.
“Seven years ago, I joined my colleague Heads of State in Addis Ababa to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our Continental Union, the African Union.
We adopted #Agenda2063 as our blueprint for transforming our continent into a future significant global partner,” he said.
He encouraged Ghanaians to be more patriotic and selfless.
“Across our continent, as we celebrate #AfricaDay on Monday May 25, we must dedicate ourselves as a people and governments towards realising the objectives of #Agenda2063 and building #TheAfricaWeWant.”
The flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, bewailed the state of the economy and advised all to realize the dream ahead after the deadly COVID-19.
“COVID-19 has exposed the structural weaknesses of our economic paradigm as exporters of primary goods and importers of finished products. But with innovative leadership and a belief in especially our enterprising and dynamic young people, we can and we should turn the wheels of the African Economy back on track.” John Dramani Mahama stressed.
African Unity Day, also known as Africa day is celebrated annually on May 25th. It commemorates the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) on this day in 1963.
