Ghanaians commended for sense of patriotism

Ghana Institute of Governance and Security (GIGS), a policy think tank has commended Ghanaians for showing a sense of patriotism statesmanship after the pronouncement of the election petition verdict by the nine-member panel of Supreme Court justices. 

According to the policy think tank, Ghana as a democratic nation has come of age in Africa in its democratic credentials hence the need for institutional build-up.

In a press release issued to Fiila News today by the think tank and signed by its Senior Research Fellow, Ziblim Saaka said Ghanaians has once again proved to the entire world that indeed the credentials earned as a beacon of democracy and best security force in Africa is not a mere fluke but a continues reality. 

GIGS is an independent, non-partisan and non-governmental policy think tank organization dedicated to strengthening society through law and justice, promote democratic governance, security, and to promote corporate enterprise.

Mr. Ziblim said as a policy think tank they owe it a duty to crave for peace and good governance in the aftermath of the Supreme Court verdict.

The think tank therefore commended the 2012 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for accepting the Supreme Court verdict and exhibiting statesmanship and maturity.

Soon after the nine-member panel of Supreme Court justices dismissed a petition, Nana thrown in the towel when addressing party supporters and the media at his Nima residence in Accra.

He also commended the security for the professional manner they have shown in maintaining law and order during and after the verdict.

 He also commended the media for their maturity in reportage in the election petition hearing in the supreme.

The think tank therefore congratulated President John Dramani Mahama, the petitioners and the electoral commission for their support in deepening Ghana’s democracy.
