Reject politics of mudslinging — Dr Fordwor

A former president of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, Kantinka Sir Dr K. Donkoh Fordwor has called on Ghanaians to emulate the virtues of Dr J.B. Danquah by rejecting politics of tribalism, abuse, mudslinging and vindictiveness.

“I wish to make a solemn appeal to all Ghanaians , no matter the ethnic group they belong, please, abandon the politics based on tribalism, please forego the politics of abuse and mudslinging.

“Rather endeavour to mould your political philosophy and behaviour on the ideals and practices of Dr J.B. Danquah,” Dr Fordwor appealed at the 49th J.B. Danquah Memorial Lecture, at the auditorium of the Ghana Academic of Arts and Sciences in Accra.

The lecture, which was the first of a series of three lectures, was on the topic, “The man Dr J.B. Danquah.”

It was attended by a cross-section of Ghanaians, including Members of Parliament, students and some top officials of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), including its flag bearer, Nana Ad
