The Tain District Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has urged the public to develop oneness and Ghana s first attitude in all their endeavours.
This came into light during engagement with residents in the district by the Commission as part of its activities marking this years’ Constitution Week Celebration under the theme “we are one, Ghana First”.
Elaborating on the theme, Mr. Jacob Dorzie, the District Director of the Commission said this is to emphasize our identity as one people with a common destiny and that national interest supersedes ethnic and all other forms of sentiments.
Lieutenant Colonel Edward Sarpong Appiah, Commanding Officer, the 66 Artillery Regiment in Ho, has assured the citizens that the military will not relent in efforts to protect the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. He said the military was conscious of its role to defend the Constitution at all times and would not shy away from that responsibility, adding that they would resist any attempt by any person or group of persons to overthrow the Constitution. “On behalf of the Military High Command, we will defend the 1992 Constitution because, it is our duty and core mandate, and also we will resist any attempt by any individual or group of persons to overthrow the constitution of Ghana,” he stated.
