The Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has advised Ghanaians to be united and love one another to develop the country.

According to him, Ghana can never develop until we become one nation and apply the rule of law to every individual but not only certain class of people.

Speaking at the party’s silver jubilee lecture on Thursday, Alban Bagbin said, Ghana can never develop until citizens decide to respect each other, know each other’s as brothers and sisters to promote Ghana.

‘We are not from different countries, Ghana can never develop until we learn how to love each other.
Ghanaians need to respect each other, we must know that we are brothers and sisters’, he stressed.

However, Alban Bagbin, has backed, Jerry John Rawlings, for the party to be guided by the principles of integrity and accountability.

Bagbin said the party’s current predicaments demand that its members introspect and work to restore its earlier values of probity and accountability.

According to him, the party can return to power only after it reverts to its earlier values that made it a better choice for Ghanaians, years ago.

“It is for us to do a self-introspection and try and put a system in place to prevent a third world war.. We need to go back for the earlier values. You cannot have democracy without creating the culture of integrity and that is the true genesis of our party but we are jettisoning all,” he said.

The founder of the party, Jerry John Rawlings, during the 38th June 4th revolution anniversary, said Ghanaians voted out the NDC because of sickening greed, selfishness and corruption.

According to Mr. Rawlings, such practices were contrary to the values upheld by the NDC, describing them as a “betrayal of the values of June 4,” which are probity, transparency and accountability.
