It
is very obvious that Ghanaians pine for peace but the peace of the
nation will only be possible if the major protagonists in the country’s
political scene cut out the rhetoric and show by their actions that they
are fully committed to peace.
It is therefore in this respect
that a member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena
Sarpong has implored the leaders of the two major political parties in
the country to honour their words to Ghanaians.
Speaking on Oman
FM on Wednesday, the NPP loyalist advised President John Dramani Mahama
and 2012 NPP Presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, not to pay lip
service to the commitment they have professed about the verdict of the
court.
According to him, the test of whether the country will
maintain its peace or be torn into pieces will be proven when the
nine-member panel gives its ruling on the pending election petition
filed by the three NPP leaders in the persons of Nana Akufo Addo, his
Running mate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the party’s Chair, Jake Obetsebi
Lamptey who seek to revoke the legitimacy of President Mahama’s
presidency.
To him, the two leaders have “to come out because we
are looking up to them. Their supporters are looking up to them for
direction. And if they fail to give that direction at that time, then
they have failed this nation. All that they are saying that I will
accept the results; I will do this…is nothing. It won’t help us. The
Police will go in and will kill people.” |
