‘THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR DIVISION, SPECULATION OR POLITICAL SCORING’ – President Mahama Tearfully Appeals In First Speech After Tragic Crash
Following the deaths of eight (8) people in the military helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region’s Adansi Akrofuom District last Wednesday, Mahama has made a sincere plea for Ghanaians to come together in mourning and solidarity rather than to fight over differences or political points.
President Mahama, who was clearly in tears, offered his sincerest sympathies to the families, friends, and loved ones of the deceased in his first public speech since the tragedy.
He praised the deceased’s commitment and service, calling their passing a personal loss as well as a national tragedy.
Additionally, he urged Ghanaians to desist from making divisive or politically driven remarks and appealed for national unity.
He said;
In this moment of national grief, let us remember that we are, above all, Ghanaians — united not just by nationality, but by shared hope, shared humanity, and now, shared sorrow. Let us set aside our differences and offer our collective compassion to the bereaved families.
This is not a time for division, speculation, or political point-scoring. It is a time for strength, for empathy, and for the enduring Ghanaian spirit that still stands tall when all else fails. Let our words be of comfort, our actions be of kindness, and our unity be the tribute we offer to those whose lives have been lost.
