The Ghana Ambassador to Germany, Prf. Ohene Adjei, has urged the executives of the NDC Professionals Forum (PROFORUM) to work collectively to deepen Ghana’s democratic dispensation.
He emphasised the urgent need for the PROFORUM to become a powerhouse of ideas and a beacon of unity within the rank and file of the Ghanaian community.
Addressing the inaugural meeting of the Forum in Berlin recently, Prof Ohene Adjei, observed that “today we are not just launching an organization,” adding that “we are igniting renewed hope.
“We are reaffirming our commitment to service.
The ambassador says that Ghana’s democratic journey had been one of resilience and progress since the dawn of the Fourth Republic, the country’s political landscape had matured through peaceful transitions, vibrant civic engagement, and the enduring will of the Ghanaian people.
Prof. Ohene Adjei stressed that within Ghana’s democratic framework, political parties have remained the vehicles through which ideas were shaped, leadership nurtured and national transformation was pursued.
The Ghanaian envoy to Federal Republic of Germany observed that it was within this “noble responsibility that this organization PROFORUM is being inaugurated today.
“This body must become more than an organization. It must be a powerhouse of ideas, a mobilizing force at all levels within a society and a beacon of unity within our ranks. It must embody discipline, loyalty, competence, and innovation.
“We must remember that political organization is not about noise—it is about structure. It is not about slogans—it is about strategy. It is not about positions—it is about purpose.
