PNC Presidential Candidate Bernard Mornah Promises to Restore Ghana's Leadership in Advancing African Unity
Bernard A. Mornah, a presidential hopeful for the People’s National Convention (PNC), pledges to restore Ghana’s leadership in advancing African unity, emphasizing transformative education aligned with African identity.
Bernard A. Mornah, a presidential candidate hopeful for the People’s National Convention (PNC), has assured that his presidency will restore the leadership and active cooperation of Ghana in advancing African unity.
This commitment, he explained, is essential for transforming the lives of Ghanaians and other citizens of Africa. Mr. Mornah announced this in his message to mark African Union (AU) Day, themed “Education fit for the 21st century”.
“Education rooted in our African identity, reflective of our history and aspirations, and transformative in its approach to give meaning to 'the black man is capable of managing his own affairs' is needed now more than ever,” he said.
“This is a personal commitment I hold dear, convinced in my bones, and passionate about working with you in Ghana to champion on the African stage. A new leader, new direction, and new Ghana beckons to work with others on the continent to realize our dreams,” he added.
Mr. Mornah emphasized that the governance challenges witnessed in many parts of Africa, including the takeovers of civilian governments and street protests questioning the real allegiance of elected leaders, highlight the urgent need to fix educational systems.
“For my country Ghana, educating the population to recognize the role and place of the nation in advancing meaningful continental unity to achieve a united central bank, currency, military, growth in trade and commerce should be a leadership priority,” he asserted.
A staunch Pan-Africanist, Mr. Mornah stressed that Africans need to rewrite the narrative about their fortunes. He called for a deep reflection on the structural changes needed to advance progress, commemorating AU Day as a moment to inspire this reflection.
He expressed disappointment that the AU’s theme did not focus more on the future, especially given the myriad of challenges facing African citizens. He urged the leadership of the AU to consider both present and future educational needs.
“The vision of the Africa We Want for 2063 is less than five decades away. The dream and vision of the forebears of the AU, which the continent has struggled to achieve, were several decades ahead of their contemporaries in other parts of the world,” he noted.
Mr. Mornah concluded by stating that the current state of Africa's education systems necessitates a shift towards producing higher-quality human resources, challenging governments to chart a new educational path.
