Bernard Allotey Jacobs has expressed his gratitude for the Ghana Armed Forces’ (GAF) pledge to maintain peace and stability during the elections on December 7.
In the approaching elections, the GAF have declared that they will uphold their professionalism.
The GAF will work with other security agencies to vigourously guard Ghana’s borders against any external threats, as stressed by Chief of Defense Staff Lieutenant General Thomas Oppong-Peprah.
“We want to assure our father and everyone that together, we will continue to maintain the peace and security of this country and we will continue to perform our duties as the Ghana Armed Forces to ensure that this country’s safety, stability, and peace are all well maintained and we will need his prayers in this direction.”
“As we prepare for this year’s elections, we want to assure everyone in Ghana that we will play our role professionally to ensure that peace and security are maintained,” he assured.
Bernard Allotey Jacobs praised the Chief of Defense Staff during the “Kokrokoo” discussion program on Peace FM, stating,”he’s spoken well and that’s what the international community, investor community, Ghanaians would want to hear that we don’t record violence in the elections”.
Allotey Jacobs warned politicians not to provoke the Military, stressing “when people are obsessed with power, they know no bounds…People should not provoke the Military. Politicians should not provoke the Military”.
He advised the political parties to “do the appropriate thing” by training “your polling agents very well and don’t allow your monitoring team who move from one polling station to other to behave as if they are electoral officers to dictate to the EC officials at the polling stations”.
