President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has observed that not everybody in Ghana believes in the democracy being practised as the system of government.
He said many have clamoured for authoritarian rule in order to precipitate development in the country.
“We still have work to do to convince such people,” President Akufo-Addo stressed in a nationwide broadcast on Friday, January 6.
The broadcast to the nation was to mark three decades of the Fourth Republic, which falls on Saturday, January 7.
On January 7, 1993, Ghana returned to constitutional rule and has since enjoyed a longest spell of democratic government, witnessing eight governments of five different presidents.
President Akufo-Addo stressed that “we have every right to be proud of this record and the celebration should inspire us”.
He, therefore, said it is in place for January 7 to be celebrated each year as Constitution Day
