President Mills warns Ghanaians to desist from backbiting
Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot
Accra, March 29, Ghanadot - Ghanaians have been urged by
President John Evans Atta Mills to eschew negative tendencies
such as unnecessary grumbling, backbiting and petty jealousy.
According to him such acts have the propensity to derail the
peaceful atmosphere that the country is currently enjoying as
well as the potential to make it ungovernable.
The president gave the warning in his home region of Cape Coast,
the regional capital of the Central Region.
The President, who arrived at Cape Coast to begin a three-day
official visit, was given a tumultuous welcome by an
enthusiastic crowd. He told the crowd that tendencies he
mentioned could become a stumbling block, instead of allowing
the region to forge ahead in unity of purpose, humility and
love.
President Mills expressed appreciation to God for his victory
and also thanked the chiefs for their prayers and support adding
that he was in the region to show appreciation for their support
and gave thanks to the Almighty God.
The visit, which has been dubbed by residents of the Central
Region as the “homecoming of the President” was his first
regional tour.
The crowd, that converged at Siwdu stadium area, a suburb of
Cape Coast, started as early as 1400 hrs yesterday when news of
the president's visit reached them, welcomed the President with
loud cheers amidst drumming and dancing when he arrived around
1600 hrs.
At one point, President Mills had to get out from his vehicle to
acknowledge the cheers before riding through the principal
streets of the metropolis and to the offices of the Oguaa
Traditional Council where the Paramount Chief, Nana Kwesi Atta
II, his sub-chiefs and queenmothers had gathered to receive him.
President Mills re-assured Ghanaians that, he would be the
President for all, irrespective of their political affiliation
and pledged to strive for their development and that of the
country in totality.
“The country’s money is not meant for the leaders of the
country, it will be well utilized for the benefit of all
Ghanaians,” he declared, adding that, God has endowed the
country with all the resources needed for its accelerated
development and urged Ghanaians to contribute their quota to
facilitate its achievement.
The Regional Minister, Madam Ama Benyiwa-Doe, said it was
appropriate that the President “came back home to give thanks to
God” because he was from the region and also received a lot of
support there during the 2008 elections.
Osabarimba Kwesi Atta, on his part welcomed President Mills and
promised that the Traditional Council will continue to pray for
him for God’s guidance and counsel.
He appealed to him to ensure the expansion of the seating
capacity of the Cape Coast Sport Stadium currently under
construction from a seating capacity of 15,000 to 25,000, while
the Kotokuraba market should also be given a facelift.
Osabarima Kwesi Atta, further used the opportunity to appeal to
President to resuscitate the number of factories in the area
that were out of use in order to provide meaningful job
opportunities to the teeming youth in the region.
