The Presidency
Accra
18th April 2017.
On Tuesday, April 18, 2017, the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, invited the three former Presidents of the Republic, their Excellencies, Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kufuor and John Dramani Mahama to a meeting at the Presidency. Its purpose was to seek their views on some governance-enhancing measures his administration intends to take.
In his Inaugural speech on Saturday, January 7, 2017, President Akufo-Addo stated that “I am in the unique position of being able to draw on the wisdom and experience of three former Presidents of the Republic, their Excellencies Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kufuor and John Dramani Mahama. They represent the continuity of the institutions of our Republic, for which we thank God.”
This statement was reiterated in the President’s message to Parliament on the State of the Nation, on Tuesday, February 21, 2017, where he said that “I am in the enviable position of being the first Ghanaian leader to be able to draw on the experiences of three living, former Presidents. This should, definitely, enrich my tenure of office.”
The meeting, which lasted for two hours, was held in a good atmosphere, one of frank exchanges and mutual respect. It is the intention of President Akufo-Addo to have further meetings with the three former Presidents in the future.

Nana wo y3 bueeei. You are really a good President. God should continue bless you. You have really proved to NDC that you are really a peaceful man.
The sympathisers, especially those at the grassroots must learn from the above. Our leaders attend funerals and marriages of each other, they drink and celebrate together. They even intermarry so why should those at the grassroots be fighting each other?
I am impressed. Keep it up Mr. President!
I pray and hope Akuffo-Addo will continue forging this unity and keep bringing all former heads of states together as well as ask them to take up projects and missions for the good of the country. I hope he does well to dispel this bad notion of conflict between Kuffor and Rawlings, Mahama and Rawlings etc etc. There is always strength in Unity. Bring these former heads of states together once every year to discuss issues that are difficult to handle. Name Roads, Libraries and projects in their honor. Do onto others what you want others to do unto you.
Nice one people, nice one. This is how we should all live with one another.
This is what democracy is all about.That we are all Ghanaians first before we are NDC,NPP.Mark of a good and civilised leadership style.The Ayarigas, Sam Georges and Suhuhinis should take note.
A REAL DEMOCRAT! A MAN WITH A VERY BIG HEART. THANK GOD FOR GIVING THIS MAN AS OUR PRESIDENT. IN THE FACE OF ALL THE INSULTS AND INCINUATIONS, HE IS STILL LOOKING FORWARD. A TRUE DEMONSTRATION THAT EACH PERSON SHOULD BE A CITIZEN. THE NATION NOW HAS A FUTURE. GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT, GOD BLESS GHANA.
This is great. United we stand, divided we fall. This is intelligence displayed at high level. Nana, keep it up. God created man on the principles of Love and Unity. Any one who displays these principles has the blessing of GOD. GODs blessing will make you succeed in governing the nation.
Great one there. God bless our home Land GHANA & MAKE GREAT AND STRONG
Great Show. God bless Ghana
