President John Mahama has called for a deliberate unification of the African diaspora against long-standing and colonial mindsets.

According to him, this will be a strategic reversal of historical oppression to take back power.

He made this call at the Diaspora Summit 2025 held at the Accra International Conference Centre.

The speaker, addressing a gathering of diasporans and stakeholders, challenged attendees to actively deconstruct harmful narratives and adopt a new operational blueprint rooted in collective strength.

“Anything in this life, one strength of his power will no longer work. And that is true of slaves. It is true of stories, especially ones that are complete fabrications,” he stated, arguing against reliance on singular, outdated systems and false historical accounts.

He issued a direct and provocative mandate for strategic reappropriation.

“Let's take the narrative of those who oppressed us and work it. In fact, let's take their entire modus operandi, flip it and reverse it.”

The core of his appeal was a charge to outperform the architects of division.

“So I urge you, my brothers and sisters, let's be more intentional about our unity than they were about our division,” he concluded.
