President John Dramani Mahama has made a passionate appeal to conflict-hit areas across the country to give peace a chance.
President Mahama noted that as Ghana's first president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah once said, the forces that unite the citizenry were inherently and far greater than the divisions imposed upon them.

"The people of Bawku and other areas [where there is conflict]; it is time for lasting peace to prevail. "Our children deserve to inherit a peaceful land where their dreams are nurtured and not where their nightmares are relived.
They deserve to inherit a land where our markets are buzzing with trade and not tension and conflict. "They deserve to inherit schools that echo with learning and not melancholy," President Mahama preached.
