The Vice President, Mr K. B. Amissah-Arthur, has called on Ghanaians to preserve the peace and stability of the country.

Addressing a gathering of chiefs of the Gonja Traditional Council in Damongo on Tuesday, Mr Amissah-Arthur observed that peace and stability form the foundation for economic and social development.

He therefore urged Ghanaians to conduct themselves in a manner that does not threaten the security of the State.

Mr Amissah-Arthur is expected to pay a courtesy call on the Buipewura on Wednesday. He will also meet with NDC executives from a number of constituencies in Buipe and begin a tour of the Upper East Region same day.
