Sign and share the petition:https://www.change.org/ghanacitizenshipƆbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon joins Radio One’s Carl Nelson Show from Ghana to discuss the urgent petition to President John Dramani Mahama on reparative citizenship, representation, and inclusion for the Historic Diaspora.In this powerful interview, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon explains why Ghana’s citizenship pathway for the Historic Diaspora must reflect repair, not exclusion. He discusses the GHS 25,000 citizenship application fee, DNA testing as an exclusionary barrier, short and unclear application windows, the need for constituency-mandated Historic Diaspora representation, and why Ghana’s “17th Region” language must be matched by real policy, real access, and real accountability.He also emphasizes that this petition is not a divide between Ghanaians and the Historic Diaspora. A huge swath of the signatories are Ghanaians born and raised in Ghana, showing that many Ghanaians are standing publicly with the Historic Diaspora in support of fair, transparent, accessible, and reparative citizenship reform.The interview connects the current petition to Ghana’s own history of Pan-Afrikan leadership, President Mahama’s 2016 restoration of citizenship to members of the Historic Diaspora, the Ghana Diaspora Engagement Policy, the Decade of Our Repatriation, and the broader principle that reparative citizenship must be treated as a matter of justice rather than ordinary immigration paperwork.As Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon states in the interview, this is not anti-Ghana and the absolute most vocal on this matter have been Ghanaians born and raised in Ghana. Indeed, this is a call for Ghana to live up to its own highest ideals. If Ghana gets this right, it can become a global model for repair, return, representation, and restored relationship between Ghana and the Historic Diaspora.Sign and share the petition:https://www.change.org/ghanacitizenshipLearn more about Decade of Our Repatriation:https://decadeofourrepatriation.comJoin The Black Agenda GH on Black platforms, beyond the algorithm & blues:Abibitumi Public Group:https://www.abibitumi.com/grou....ps/the-black-agenda- The Black Agenda GH:https://youtube.com/@blackagen....daghhttps://www.inst @blackagendaghRecorded and transcribed by Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon.The process must match the promise.#ghanacitizenship #reparativecitizenship #historicdiaspora #theblackagenda #decadeofourrepatriation #carlnelsonshow #radioone #ghana #panafrikan #reparativejustice #rightofreturn #abibifahodie
