President John Dramani Mahama has stated that Africa is confronted with numerous challenges, including a global order that is still biased against the continent, particularly concerning the endowment of natural resources.
He emphasizes that it is crucial for African nations to enhance the value of their exports and obtain a more equitable share of the natural resource wealth.
Most importantly, he remarked, this is the moment for us to deliver transparent and accountable leadership to our citizens and to harness the creativity and energy of the youth.
President Mahama expressed these thoughts on Facebook after participating in the Jamhuri Day celebrations alongside President William Samoei Ruto.
He conveyed that the people of Ghana stand in solidarity with their Kenyan counterparts. We honor the legacy of our ancestors who fought bravely for our freedom, and we do not take their sacrifices lightly.
“The bond between our independence leaders is a lasting flame that continues to unite our two nations in a spirit of Pan-African solidarity. Africa is facing numerous challenges, including a global order that is still skewed against us. It is essential for us to enhance the value of our exports and secure a more just share of our natural resource wealth.
“However, most importantly, this is the time for us to provide transparent and accountable leadership to our people and to unleash the creativity and energy of our youth. Kenya remains a valued member of the African Union and other international organizations, and Ghana wishes you ongoing success,” he wrote.
