Speaking on Hello FM in an interview, the president made known the reason of his silence concerning the attacks of the separatists.
He said, “Institutions are in place, the security agencies are doing their work, they’ve started already and we’ll see results.
However, the flag bearer of the NDC has also condemned the act of the separatists,
Mahama said, “Ghana’s land belongs to Ghana, Ghana is a sovereign republic and nobody can claim a part of Ghana. All of us came together to make Ghana so we cannot sit aloof and watch some people take Ghana. If it’s so, then everyone will trace their history and come for a part of their share which will not be a good thing. What brings us together is the fact that we are all Ghanaians,”
The president further explained more on his silence and also added that “If I panic, the country panics…There is no value for the country if I start making hysterical statements,” he said.
“the security agencies are doing their work. They have started already and we will see results,” he said.
