PEACEFUL ELECTION 2016

GHANA FOR PEACEFUL ELECTION 2016.

Indeed I have no iota of doubt that Ghana is already swimming in a pool of peace and therefore there is no need to call for another peace, as some critics argue.

These critics find it very strange and more so, can not understand why people should continue preaching peace when there is an already peaceful coexistence among neighbours in the country.

Forgetting that despite the level of water in the sea, it still rains into it. They assumably believe that these cause might rather have the tendency to trigger confusion or public disillusionment.

Due to our attitude as humans, the best way to sustain any good cause of action is by constantly reminding us and continuous practice.

As a nation, we have just few hours to go to poll, to decide, to make or repeat history and to justify to the rest of the world our level of maturity in the practice of democracy.

The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), Public and Private Organizations and other individuals with support from Star Ghana, the European Union, UKaid and DANIDA have all contributed immensely towards the peace crusade.

It is therefore appropriate on every electorate to compliment the effort of these crusaders by simply adhering to the standard practice of election to entrench the position of the crusaders.

Election is simply going to the poll to exercise your franchise (a constitutionally mandated right), to make a choice, but not an occasion to exhibit to the world how strong we are, not the moment to tell people we have patented violence and crave for war. And even if you feel you are stronger than anyone else, just relax because the next edition of the "Ghana Most Strongest" will commence soon.

My dear brothers and sisters, I love you all and I will want to see you all alive and kicking after 7th December.

So kindly go to the poll on the day of voting, cast your ballots and leave for home peacefully and you can decide to come back after 5:00pm to witness the counting process. That's All !!!!

Remember! Ghana is practicing DemoCRACY but not DemoCRAZY
Let's avoid speeches that do not edify, words that are divisive, languages that would leave the youth wondering were Wisdom had fled to and finally actions that will end us up in the 1979 Mumprugu Yooyo, Cowboy days that I describe as "Rambo Days" in Ghana.

Remember that Voting is your Constitutional Right and Civic Responsibility.
Go out and Vote on Issues.

YOU DECIDE, I DECIDE, TOGETHER WE MAKE A DECISION.

SHALOM!!!!
