Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has assured Ghanaian youth that the future is bright and the country is on the right path.

In his Christmas message on Tuesday, he acknowledged that while there may have been challenges, Ghana continues to be a source of inspiration for other African nations.

“Please the youth, more importantly, the future is bright. I can assure you that Ghana is on the right path. We still remain the beacon of hope, the beacon of democracy and the country that our colleagues in the African continent are looking up to. Ghana is still seen as a mecca of the black race.”

“We might have faulted, but people still look up to us. Particularly as we have maintained this multiparty democracy for 32 good years. The fact that we are being eulogized by other countries is something that will fulfil and keep our spirit in a good mood to go on,” Bagbin stated.

He also took the opportunity to extend his Christmas and New Year wishes to all Ghanaians.

“I want to take this opportunity again, to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. May the good Lord continue to bless all of us and keep our nation greater and stronger,” he said.
