The Upper West Regional Coordinating Director, Gilbert Nuuri-Teg gave further comments on the Remembrance Day. He stated:
“We are not only remembering those who have fallen but it is a reminder to we those living to make sure that this [war] does not recur. We should resort to better way of dealing with issues than resorting to war. So we are happy that this day has been instituted and you normally remember it every year. As we get into the election this year, I think this is an important exercise to remind all of you. Your role in successful election this year is very, very paramount. I believe that you will exercise that role professionally to ensure that Ghana remain a peaceful place to live in.”
