John Mahama Encourages African Diaspora to Utilize Right to Abode Law and Return to Ghana

Former President John Mahama has issued a heartfelt appeal to individuals of African descent, urging them to seize the opportunity provided by the right to abode law to relocate to Ghana. Speaking at the Universities Studying Slavery Conference in Halifax, Canada, on October 19, Mahama emphasized the importance of Africans taking the initiative to heal from the injustices inflicted by colonization.

In his keynote address, Mahama made it clear that the responsibility of healing and reconciliation should be shouldered by the African community themselves, rather than relying on external efforts of atonement. He underscored the significance of acknowledging the sacrifices made by their ancestors and expressed a vision for a brighter future.

Mahama’s powerful message extended an invitation to the African diaspora, assuring them that there is a welcoming home for them in Ghana. He encouraged those interested to explore the opportunities offered by the right of abode for individuals of African descent.

The former president’s call for unity and reconnection resonates with the broader movement to strengthen ties between the African continent and its diaspora, as it encourages people to return to their ancestral roots in Ghana.
