2024 Election: Show patriotism and maturity – IGP to Ghanaians
The Inspector-General of Police Dr. George Akuffo Dampare has called on Ghanaians to exhibit patriotism, maturity and love for humanity during the December 7, 2024 general elections.
According to the IGP, the Police and other security services are poised to ensure law and order during the elections, however, citizens and all stakeholders must play their role in making the exercise successful.
“The security agencies are ready for the elections, ready to keep the peace, ready to secure the country and ready to ensure law and order. All that we have to do as citizens is to play our part, and all other stakeholders must do is play their part.
“And if we are to do three things right, we will see that playing our part is the easiest thing that we can do for our beloved country. And the three things stem from being matured; maturity across all ages is very necessary, patriotism; patriotism towards nation such that we put Ghana first and all other things secondary and thirdly we need love for humanity,” the IGP said at an election preparation event organized by the Trades Union Congress on Thursday under the theme “The role of workers and social partners in securing peaceful election for national development.”
The IGP emphasized that if all stakeholders and citizens play their role, the election will be an enjoyable civic process.
“If we can operate on this principle we will see that our duty in this whole election process is a simple civic process that is enjoyable”.
