Let’s maintain peace and unity Ghana is enjoying – DCE

Gomoa Aboso (CR), Dec 19, GNA - Mr Benjamin Kojo Otoo, Gomoa East District Chief Executive (DCE) has reiterated the call on Ghanaians to strive to maintain the peace and unity the country has enjoyed over the past years to enhance macro- economic stability.

He said it was important for the people to put behind them their political divide and foster unity, understanding, and respect for one another to support the government under President Nana Akufo-Addo to succeed.

The DCE made the call when he addressed a festival of nine Lessons and Carols at Gomoa Aboso, in the Gomoa East District of the Central region.

It was organized by the Gomoa East District Assembly and Centre for National Culture (CNC) in collaboration with the Local Council of Christian Churches in the Gomoa Aboso, Benso, Ekroful and Akropong area.

The Churches that participated in the  Carols night were Church of Pentecost, Methodist Church of Ghana, AME Zion Church, Gospel Ambassadors Church, Belsedek International Church, Resurrection Life Ministries,  Roman Catholic Church and Divine Healing Church.

The DCE said without peace and unity there would be no development, adding that government had laid solid foundation that will facilitate creation of jobs and wealth.

He said the government was poised to put in place more pragmatic policies and programmes that would improve the welfare of all Ghanaians.

The DCE said that Gomoa East Assembly will do its best to create enabling environment for both local and foreign investors to come to the District.

Mr Otoo advised the Christians to live life worthy of emulations and desist from acts of hatred, gossip and rancour.

He stated that as the world prepared to usher in Christmas, which was symbolized with the birth of Christ, it should serve as a hallmark for people to be generous towards the poor and needy in the society.

The DCE disclosed that the Carols night was first started in United Kingdom (UK) in the 19th century, after the first and second World Wars when the World was struggling to seek for peace and unity.
