Accra, Ghana, December 8, 2020//-As Ghana’s election fever looms with alarming alacrity of anxiety and uncertainty, this is the time for all the key politicians to learn from the bitter lessons taught by the USA elections.
Anxiety is even at its apogee for the first time as USA Vice President Kamala Harris and Ghana’s Vice President to be Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyeman throw in their towels to sing a glorious song of change.
A change that has made a unique visible impact on the male Presidential compatriots themselves as veterans!
Above all, the spectacularly exemplary clean nature of the respective personal conducts of Prof Opoku-Agyeman and her Democratic pair Kamala Harris has gone a long way to rid the entire platform of campaign trails of the usual showers of personal insults and bigoted historic shouts of character assassinations normally enshrined in our political battle for power!!
Bravo and Kudos to these two civilised and self-respecting female candidates!!
Moving forward as Ghanaians sleeplessly and relentlessly await the results of the polls in the 24hour time slot, Prof Frank Forbes-Menson, an Oxford University Educated Economist advised all the presidential candidates as follows:
1) Be the leader that you would have been should the elections have gone in your favour.
2) Respect, enact and implement the basic tenets of the universal rule of law during this heightened period of fear, troubles and fears.
In fact, there is nothing to fear than fear itself during our unique period of transition as always observed in election years.
3) REMEMBER! EVERY SAINT HAS THEIR PAST AND EVERY SINNER THEIR FUTURE’
4) Our Ghanaian elite and leadership should be conscious of the fact that the role of women in the political dispensation has come to STAY and must be afforded the requisite respect and honour, moving forward!
5) Projects and allied programmes of economic and sociopolitical development initiated by the Akufo-Addo regime MUST be adopted, nurtured and continued in the interests of our mutual national patriotism and overall visibility of progress of a people aiming at a common attainment of peace especially in this challenging era of the Covidian menace destroying human lives to nothingness.
6) Our leadership MUST ESCHEW myopic views of ethnocentric perceptions and personal egoistic egocentricity to exhibit the good faiths of leadership that there will have to be A WINNER AND A LOSER!
- FINALLY, the hard earned accolade of BLACK STAR OF AFRICA won through the blood and toil of our forefathers MUST BE RESPECTED to avoid any tarnishing of mother Ghana’s respectable and indomitable reputation as the beacon of democracy and the gateway of Africa, come the reality of the final results after all votes are convincingly counted to the satisfaction of all parties!
