The Greater Accra Region House of Chiefs condemned the riots and violence following the 2020 general election as it calls for calm.
Nii Okwei Kinka Dowuona VI, speaker of the House of Chiefs of the Greater Accra region, in a press release said the electoral process was governed by laws urging those in disagreement to use proper procedures to seek redress.
“We believe these events will undermine the fundamental peace and freedom on which our country is founded and which we all enjoy today.”
He said the election was hailed as a success by observers stressing that such acts did not bode well for peace and unity.
He said such acts could stir up disunity, division and hateful traits and should not be encouraged.
“Ghana has earned the respect and admiration of many other nations because of the peaceful and legal manner in which a previous electoral dispute was resolved.
“Therefore, we not only condemn these acts of violence and criminality, but we call on all well-meaning Ghanaians who love this great nation to refrain from engaging in them,” he said.
“It is our collective responsibility to ensure that this country remains peaceful and continues to be a beacon of hope in Africa.
“Ghana is our only homeland, so let’s work together to ensure that, in the words of our national anthem, Ghana remains big and strong,” the statement said.
