Ghanaians have been reminded that change is not limited to only political administration but that it must also reflect in the attitudes of the people.
According to Bishop Ofori Twumasi, the Leader of the Holy Fire International Church, political parties might formulate the best policies that would move the country forward but if the people did not change their attitudes, it would be difficult to implement those policies.
He was speaking at a service organised by the Western Regional branch of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Takoradi to thank God for His mercies.
“Change should be seen in our lives; we have to change from our old ways of doing things, our attitude towards the environment, our work ethics and honour our tax and civic responsibilities to support the national cause,” he said.
He praised past and present governments for upholding Nkrumah’s legacy, saying, “It is important to appreciate the work of those before us.”
The Western Regional Minister, Mr Paul Evans Aidoo, thanked the people of the region for voting massively for the NDC in the 2008 elections.
He said the government of Professor John Evans Atta Mills had the interest of the region at heart and pledged that it would do everything possible to ensure that the region had its fair share of development.
For her part, the Deputy Regional Minister designate, Ms Betty Bosomtwi-Sam, called for unity and brotherliness.
“We may belong to different political parties but after the elections we are one people passionate about the development of our country,” he said.
She assured women that apart from her duties to support the growth of the region, she would also work to champion the cause of women and children.
Prior to the thanksgiving service, there had been a float through the Market Circle and other parts of the city.
