Even though we haven’t taken a decision yet I appreciate Asiedu Nketia’s position – Mahama on peace pact

Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama has said that although the party has not yet taken a decision on whether or not to sign the peace declaration, he can appreciate the concerns of the NDC’s National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia who opposed the signing.

He said that singing a peace pact should not be glorified when eight of their members were killed during the 2020 general elections yet nothing was done about the incident.

“I read the statement of our national chairman, even though it is not a decision we have sat and taken I can understand the position he is coming from, he is talking about justice.

“We should not glorify the peace pact when people gun down 8 of our compatriots yet nothing has been done about it, no compensation, so then what is the use of the peace pact? As I said we haven’t sat and taken a definite decision on that.”

Johnson Asiedu Nketia had argued that previous declarations that were signed did not resolve any issues.

“Signing a peace declaration doesn’t mean anything to the party, as previous pacts have not yielded any real results,” he said.

The National Peace Council has however said it has taken note of the concerns.
