President Mahama: Ghana’s Independence is the Pinnacle of Our National History

President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated that Ghana’s independence is the most significant event in the nation’s history, emphasising its crucial role in shaping the country’s identity and future.

Speaking at the 68th Independence Day celebration held at Jubilee House today, President Mahama stated, “Our independence not only set us on the path of nationhood, but it also ignited the flame of freedom across Sub-Saharan Africa, inspiring other nations, their youth, and colonised territories to pursue self-determination.”

According to him, this day therefore must always be commemorated , but when reality calls for a different approach, we must heed it and act accordingly.

This underscores the need for flexibility in how the celebrations are observed, depending on the realities facing the nation.

He also pointed out that hosting the celebrations at the presidency ensures the symbolic significance of Independence Day is preserved, while also helping to demystify the seat of government and make it more accessible to the people.

“Independence Day gives us an opportunity to reflect on our nation’s struggle for freedom and honour the sacrifices of our forebears who fought for self-rule,” he said.

“It reinforces our national identity, unity, and patriotism, while offering a moment for reflection on our progress and the challenges that lie ahead,” he added.

President Mahama called on all Ghanaians to use this occasion as a time to reflect on the nation’s history.

“to learn from the lessons it teaches and, by doing so, carve out a new path for progress and development.”he concluded.
