THE POLITICAL HOME STRETCH.

Page 12 Saturday December 6 2008
We are now in the home stretch in our political race, and thighs and muscles are tense.
Ghanaians in the race should pour their hearts out in prayers, and suppoters of various parties should pray and play their roles well.
We have to calm the political rough seas, and Ghanaians should do their outmost best to bring about peace and tranquility to prevail in this years elections so that the end results would be stainlesssly clean and acceptable by all.
It has been stated that Ghana comes first before any ‘rivalry’, so the elections should be seen as something we have to do to sift out the best to manage our country for us, and this is what we want.
The avoidance of ‘hot bubbling statements’ should never be our utterances, to hurt people and make them angry.
Politics is not a ‘do or die’ affair which must be banged upon by hook or crook.
Politics is just a method or process of milling ourselves to get a ‘smooth’ or fine ‘dough’ of govrnance.
As a people of one united nation, it is up to us to ensure that, we do not fan passions with our tongues.
We should not say things which are untruths and damaging to other people.
Strictly speaking what do we gain from lying about people?
It is nothing than driving wedges among the fabric of our society.
When the campaign was started to commence this years elections, many people issued ‘stinkers’ which unfortunately is very divisive for the society.
With democracy we have to agree to disagree, then we move on, that is all.
We should weigh thoughtfully people’s suggestions and to sieve the chaff from the straw.This is budding democracy!
The great pioneers of this nation who struggled and encountered difficulties; actually sweated to build this nation of ours.
They had lived in this country for years before this time of ours.
How then should we as a result of ‘poorlitics’ do our ‘purelitics’ with mudslinging and bitterness.
‘Peace be still’ and the stormy tide of disunity should calm down, until the final count down and after.
Ghana First!
