    In a compelling speech to mark Black History Month, Mr James Gyakye Quayson, a National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin North, emphasised the need for unity, self-sufficiency, and inclusive governance.

    He paid tribute to renowned Black leaders, including Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jnr, and former United States President Barack Obama, highlighting their contributions to justice and equality.

    “Mr Speaker, Black History Month is a call to action. It reminds us of the need for unity among Black people worldwide. By learning from the past and building solidarity, we can create a future of dignity and empowerment,” Mr Quayson stated on the Floor of Parliament on Friday.

    He reaffirmed Ghana’s role as the Gateway to Africa, citing the Year of Return and Beyond the Return initiatives, which had strengthened ties with the global African diaspora. These programmes have attracted investments in real estate, hospitality, and tourism, boosting economic growth and cultural connections. Mr Quayson also called for reform, urging Parliament to expedite the Dual Citizenship Amendment Bill.

    This would allow skilled and committed diaspora Ghanaians with dual nationality to contribute to leadership and development. “The fight against dual citizenship restrictions is not a personal battle but a national conversation. Our Constitution must evolve to reflect the global realities of our people,” he asserted.

    Additionally, Mr Quayson highlighted the Black Star Experience, an NDC initiative aimed at making Ghana a global hub for arts, culture, and tourism. He also advocated for policies that integrated African Americans and other nationals who had settled in Ghana, allowing them to contribute to governance and leadership.

    “Mr Speaker, leadership is not confined to nationality by birth but defined by the ability to serve, innovate, and uplift communities,” he emphasised. Concluding his speech, Mr Quayson urged for a collective effort to create an inclusive and progressive Ghana.

    “The journey ahead is long, but together, we can redefine what it means to be Ghanaian, ensure equal opportunities, and build a future our children will be proud of,” he said.
