The Coalition of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) Against Political Vigilantism and Violence Extremism has commended President for his swift and decisive action in prioritizing peace and unity in Ghana, particularly in the conflict-prone town of Bawku.
In a congratulatory message, the Coalition lauded President Mahama's visit to Bawku, describing it as a "historic gesture of leadership and dedication" just one week into his presidency.
The visit, they noted, reaffirms his commitment to resolving one of Ghana's most complex and longstanding conflicts. "This proactive step has not only inspired hope among the people of Bawku but has also strengthened the nation's trust in President Mahama's leadership to restore harmony and ensure lasting peace," the statement said.
The Coalition recalled that during the tenure of former President , they had urged him to personally intervene in the Bawku conflict, a call they made public through the Insight Newspaper on March 3, 2023.
