Vice President Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has urged Ghanaians to remain committed to the values of justice, accountability, and national unity as the country commemorated the 44th anniversary of the 31st December Revolution.
Speaking on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama, she joined party members and citizens at the event, which was held under the theme “Consolidating the Reset Agenda: Reflections on the Gains of the 31st December Revolution.”
The vice president stated that the revolution, led by Flight Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings, was born out of a determination to confront injustice, restore accountability, and uphold the dignity of ordinary Ghanaians.
She noted that the movement reshaped Ghana’s political consciousness and laid the foundation for the revolutionary tradition that later gave rise to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Opoku-Agyemang paid tribute not only to prominent figures but also to the everyday citizens, soldiers, and rank-and-file members whose sacrifices shaped the nation’s course.
She emphasized that their motivation was rooted in a belief in values that would propel Ghana forward.
She also conveyed warm greetings from President Mahama, wishing all Ghanaians a happy and reflective New Year.
Commending participants in the parade, particularly the children, she stressed the importance of protecting and passing down Ghana’s values to future generations.
“The Revolution was not about individuals; it was about a national effort to build a just, caring, and responsible society. That duty still rests with us today,” she said.
As Ghana enters a new year, the vice president called for honest reflections on both blessings and shortcomings, urging citizens to stay grounded in truth and keep the nation’s interests at the forefront.
