Former president John Mahama has appealed to people of African descent not to hesitate to take advantage of the right to abode law to relocate to Ghana.
Delivering the keynote speech at the Universities Studying Slavery Conference in Halifax Canada on Thursday (19 October), Mahama said Africans must learn to heal from the injustices caused by colonisation by themselves.
“I would like us to remember that the work of atonement done by somebody else for the injustices of the past should not be confused for the work of healing that must be done by us for the well-being and joy of our posterity.
“We are the answer to our ancestors prayers, they survived the unspeakable so that we will be free to soar beyond the limits that society, family and friends try to placed on us,” he said.
“There is a home for you in Ghana, and we will happily welcome you back home, as one of our own through the door of return whenever you are ready I am sure you can get more information on the right of abode for persons of African diaspora here,” Mahama said.
