President Akufo-Addo told the gathering that “we have to build a confident Ghana which is united, at peace with itself and takes pride in its diversity, and which continues to pursue its historic pan-African vocation. It will not be easy. We have no illusions whatsoever about the nature of the task that we face, but I know that Ghanaians will rise to the occasion; they always do.” He was confident that “the Black Star is going to shine and shine and shine, and we are going to build a Ghana Beyond Aid.” ---DECRYPTED---
