Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the Founder and Presiding Archbishop of Action Chapel International, has urged stakeholders to prioritize honesty and fairness during this election year.
Speaking at a meeting with the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama and the Christian Ecumenical Council in Accra on Monday, May 20, 2024, he warned that failure to uphold these principles could lead to severe consequences.
Highlighting the high levels of pain and suffering in Ghana, which have caused a significant number of doctors and nurses to emigrate, Archbishop Duncan-Williams said, “there is too much pain and suffering in this country. All our doctors and nurses are leaving.”
He stressed the importance of managing the election process with transparency and fairness to prevent further deterioration of the situation.
“We just pray that things will be well handled and managed in transparency and fairness that we will not end up being refugees in any other country. Because without proper fairness and honesty and transparency, things may fall out of hand,” he stated.
He also cautioned political parties against underestimating the resolve of Ghanaians, referencing past events and ongoing disturbances in parts of the country, including Bawku.
“Nobody should think that the Ghanaian is a very gentle, don’t like trouble human being. It’s not true, because I saw what happened in 79 and 81 and they were Ghanaians and some of the violence and murders and unrest in a certain part of this country like what’s going on in Bawku and other places, they are all Ghanaians,” he said.
