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.
Speaking at the Presbyterian Church, Ebenezer Congregation in Kyebi, to mark the 60th anniversary of Danquah's death, Akufo-Addo called for an end to persistent attempts to erase the late statesman's contributions to Ghana's political history. "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.
