The Member of Parliament (MP) for Berekum West Constituency in the Bono Region, Mr. Dickson Kyere Duah, has called on Ghanaians to recommit themselves to the values of patriotism, discipline, and innovation as the country marked this year’s Founder’s Day on Sunday, September 21.
In a statement issued to the Ghana News Agency, the MP noted that while Founder’s Day celebrates the legacy of Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the most meaningful way to honour him is for citizens to live out the principles he stood for.
“The best way to celebrate Osagyefo Nkrumah is not just in words, but by rededicating ourselves to patriotism, discipline, unity, and innovation. That is how we can continue the journey he began for an independent and prosperous Ghana,” Mr. Duah said.
He described Dr. Nkrumah as an embodiment of vision and courage whose leadership not only secured Ghana’s independence in 1957 but also inspired the liberation of other African nations. According to him, Nkrumah’s unwavering belief in industrialisation, education, and continental unity continues to resonate with future generations.
“As the MP for Berekum West, I am inspired by Osagyefo’s example of selfless leadership and his commitment to national progress. His vision challenges all of us to build a fair, inclusive, and forward-thinking society,” the statement added.
Mr. Duah urged Ghanaians, particularly the youth, to draw strength from Nkrumah’s legacy by embracing hard work and innovation as tools to move the nation forward.
