This year’s election is like none other in the history of this country. We are faced with an election that presents to us an opportunity to choose between perpetual doom and a brighter future. This an election that presents us with an opportunity to choose between- create, loot, share and collective prosperity. Our actions and in actions in this particular election is going to either commit us to a bondage of abject poverty or total liberation leading to economic freedom and independence. The choice is ours!
The turning point for this country is but only a faint thin line between chronic corruption and responsible leadership.
We live in a country, where we have a President whose inconsistency with principles of good governance is overwhelming. We live in a country, whose government’s insatiable love for corruption can’t be underestimated.
For the first time in the history of our country Ghana, prices of crude oil on the international market drastically got as low as $44 per barrel, yet not a single pesewa of reduction reflected in the prices of fuel in Ghana; what an insensitive government we have.
We live in an era where graduating from tertiary institutions no longer brings joy, rather a headache as unemployment stares you in the face like a groom waiting to kiss his bride.
We live in a country with a president, whose love for low quality is so unprecedented to a point where his government is only interested in recruiting 3 months old political nurses whilst professionally trained and qualified graduate nurses “rot” at home with their skills- a leadership of misplaced priorities. We want this no more!
The least talked about SADA, the better. Most often a time I ask myself, where did we go wrong as a country? What at all have we done as people to deserve these hardships and pain, hopelessness and suffering meted out to us by the John Mahama led administration? SADA is one of the biggest fraud cases ever to have hit Ghana under the watch of my brother, a Northern President yet He goes about pitching region against region. Sometimes, I’m tempted to say our President is a scam; but in an African society like ours, the elders will say “you are a spoiled kid.” However, it’s time we called a spade, a spade and not a big spoon.
In these last days, be weary of their diabolic agenda. They will try to pitch tribe against tribe, religion against religion, ethnicity against ethnicity, King against King, traditional ruler against traditional ruler, chief against chief, mother against daughter, father against son! They will try to cast a pungent slur on our clean leader and men, they will try to maim the voices of conscience calling for change.
We’ve fought battles and lost, we’ve fought battles and won. We’ve picked up the lessons from the lost battles in order to win this war ahead of us. We are waging a war against corruption, a war against unemployment, a war against incompetence, a war against nepotism, a war against create, loot and share, a war against greed and mediocrity and above all, a war against the failed leadership of President John Dramani Mahama; the who claimed to have the dead goat syndrome!
I am on the side of the man whose entire life has been dedicated to the service of this country without luxury. Yes, as a man as He is, he has his own flaws but corruption has never been one of them. I am for He, whose conscience, strength and energy is directed towards the survival and prosperity of the next generations. I am for He, who shall be a father for ALL, and not a selected few.
There’s nothing mightier in the world than an idea whose time has come! It’s time for Ghana to experience the ideas of a Nana Addo’s government. Its time. I am For Change!
