WHAT ARE WE PREACHING AS A PEOPLE?; THE ELECTIONS

Peace is the Song to Play

Over the past few months, tensions have been brewing over the mere idea of the impending elections; a necessary evil.
 The issue on the ground is disturbing as individuals, entities and the Government at large is ranting endless of the many eyesores unforeseen yet perceived of an election gone wrong: A saga.
A cogent look at our life as a people sees a systemic brew of peace and hospitality devoid of irrationalities and absurdities. A ll this has been achievable simply because we as a people, have restrained ourselves thus far and so the question remains as "Why Now".

Yes. Why now veer from set ordeals where we have harbored all ills and foregone the cynical comments of the opposition to affirm defeat. Why now the COMMOTION AND UNREST.

We as a people have been witnesses. Yes, to the many statements from the police and the government. Making absurd statements such as "we are prepared to handle any eventualities" or that "we are armed to cater for such instances if it occur".

The big question is then that; why not avert this clashes that may arise from the elections by preaching the peace campaign and asking that people smoke the peace pipe but rather, instigate and ingrain such ideas of disturbances in the constituencies and the nation at large and then later waste resources to restore or more immediately, pay armed vigilantes to maintain the peace.

WE CAN PREACH PEACE!! YES, PREACH PEACE.
Positive communication can avert a lot of destructions. Yes the talk of peace is on; but lets strengthen it the more.
A recent release from the Ghana police Service read "EC identifies 81 flashpoints. Seeks police assistance for adequate security". Yes; it is a positive advent and the preparations ahead is great: But can't we overly avert these squabbles? Of course we can.

Let's preach PEACE; For we as a people, matter.
