The University of Education, Winneba branch of the Tertiary Institutions Students Confederation (TESCOM) has praised President John Agyekum Kufuor for his comportment during the recent National People's Assembly at Sunyani.
TESCOM also congratulated the President for his selection as the Chairman of the African Union (AU).
Making the commendation at Winneba last Friday, Mr. Samuel K. Okyere, branch Chairman of TESCOM, noted that had it not been for President Kufuor's comportment, the National People's Assembly could have turned into "a different ballroom game".
TESCOM was not happy about what it described as "the irresponsible manner some of the participants posed their equally provocative questions to President Kufuor", adding that the fatherly spirit displayed won the President and the NPP Government an excellent political point that would go down in the country's political history for many years to come.
On President Kufuor's selection as AU Chairman, the second Ghanaian after the first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, TESCOM simply described the appointment as "wonderful" and called for support and co-operation to enable President Kufuor to render credible service to the AU and Africans.
The organisation also appealed to AU member countries to "back President Kufuor with their hearts, mutual understanding, commitment and hard work" to make the continent safer and the most peaceful community in the World devoid of civil wars, which had impeded Africa's socio-economic and cultural emancipation and effective development.
Mr. Okyere asked Ghanaians, irrespective of their political, ethnic and religious affiliations, to co-operate with the Government and to contribute ideas and suggestions for the successful celebration of the country's 50th Independence anniversary, next month.
He charged Ghanaians to display a sense of commitment, patriotism and devotion to the goals and aspirations of the country, by actively participating in all cleanup exercises and other programmes towards the Golden Jubilee celebration.
