The Aburihene, Otoobour Djan Kwasi II has hinted that, he’s of the optimistic that Ghana will not witness any form of chaos nor hooliganism before, during and after the 2020 general elections.
According to him, the country would observe a peaceful and successful elections, since this is not the first time Ghanaians are heading for a poll to exercise their franchise in both the Presidential and Parliamentary front to decide who leads the country and represent its counstituents in Parliament.
The Paramount Chief who also doubles as the Adontenghene for the Akuapem Traditional Council in the Eastern Region, therefore noted that since he’s confidence of a peaceable election, he will embark on a ‘peaceful tour’ to all polling centres in Akuapem South Counstituency to ensure electorates cast their vote and return home peacefully.
“We have had 7th polls before to successfully elected both the Parliamentarians and the Prez and nothing happens to the country. So this 8th polls we are preparing ourselves to go will also be a very successful one” he told KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH, Kingdom FM’s Eastern Regional Correspondent.
Nana Otoobour II, used the opportunity to call on his fellow colleagues Chiefs to imitate his move to help facilitate and attain the free and fair election which would complement the “peace” the country is calling for.
“if you’re Chief you can also do the same to tour the various polling centres to monitor how the voting procedure is going on because our people have homage for us. Even if someone has planned to do something bad at the centre and immediately that person sees you it put fears in that person to put a stop to it” he advised.
Notwithstanding, he categorically stated that he will discipline and dealt with anyone who tries to tarnish the good name of Akuapem South Constituency into “disrepute” during the electioneering process.
Lastly but not the least on preaching peace on the forthcoming general election, Otoobour Djan Kwasi II charged Ghanaians not to be influence by ‘vote buying’ from Political leaders, but, instead; accept any sum of amount that would be offered and vote wisely for whoever that can help developed the country, stressing that “only God knows who will be our next President’.
The Aburihene further pleaded with Ghanaians to take extra careful about their lives since covid still exist. He again warned that, UK and US just got strikes with the second wave of the deadly pandemic, thus underscore the need to be vigilant since Ghana can’t be compared to the aforementioned developed Nations as they are far advanced in medications and infrastructural wise to combat the disease.
Otoobour Djan Kwasi II, moreover, expressed his worry on the manner in which politicians have exibited on their campaign and rallies for power without enforcing their followers to adhere to the preventive protocols i.e. wearing nose mask and the likes, thus believes Ghana won’t get things on a silva platter should the disease strikes again.
“Prez Akufo-Addo should reenforced the covid-19 protocols to save people’s live. He shouldn’t sit down and relaxed because of the campaign”
“if you win the elections and your citizens fall sick whom will you ruled over. Our health is more important than the elections” he pleaded.
