Former President Nana Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to uphold the principles of democracy, using the life and struggles of Dr.

J.B.

Danquah as a reminder of the sacrifices made for the nation's freedom.

Akufo-Addo called for an end to the persistent attempts to erase the late statesman's contributions to Ghana's political history while speaking at the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church in Kyebi to mark the 60th anniversary of Danquah's death. "The memory of Danquah demands that we remain vigilant, ensuring that democracy in Ghana is not just a rhetorical idea but a lived reality," Akufo-Addo stated, emphasizing the need for active citizenship in preserving democratic values.
