We note that the President, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has sworn to dedicate himself to the service and well-being of Ghanaians, advance peace, progress and prosperity using his Executive Power as Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ghana.

Ghana: What a history of Hatred and Evil 1
As the new year starts in 2021, we are reminded by a statement in the Christian Bible of predictions of an end of the world someday. The evil and wickedness of man in the world is supposed to end one day just like any human life.
The media reminds us of this important history in Ghana, often overlooked:
“Salifu Dagarti was born in July 1931 and died on 2 January 1964. He was a British trained Ghanaian police officer and presidential bodyguard who shielded Kwame Nkrumah with his body on the fifth attempt to assassinate Nkrumah since he came to power in 1957.” (Ghultimatenews,Jan.2, 2021)
