No Politician Is Worth Dying For - Abu Foster

The 2012 Presidential Candidate of the Convention People’s Party Dr Abu Sakara has stated that no politician is worth dying for adding nobody should fight the other just because he/she wants a political party to win power.

“No one is worth dying for, don’t fight for any political party, the fight is in the hands of God” Dr Sakara lamented.

He was addressing a congregation at a thanks giving service held for him at ST. Kizito Catholic Church situated at Nima-a suburb of Accra last Sunday.
He urged all Christians to pray for continuous peace before, during and after the December election. He stated that Christians have a major role to play in ensuring that the Presidential and parliamentary elections are devoid of violence and acrimony.

“We can’t afford to let the peace we are enjoying today slip off our hands, let us all remember we need peace to be able to worship our God we serve.” Dr Sakara said.
He added that it is not by accident that he and the CPP are at St Kizito on Republic Day, which he said was representative of the entire country. He asked that the church prays for the wellbeing of the nation.
The CPP Flagbearer cautioned that no one should allow themselves to become anyone’s agent of violence in the coming elections as no one was worth dying for the election.
Dressed in all white, Dr Sakara charged Christians not to look unconcerned about who is elected to lead the Country but rather participate fully in the elections to choose the right person for the development of the Nation.
The CPP delegation were attending the Mass also as Thanksgiving for its successful congress which elected Dr Abu Sakara and to mark 52nd anniversary of Republic Day.
It may be recalled that it was on the 1st July 1960 that the CPP Government of the first republic gained republican status for the country.
Dr Sakara was accompanied by Abu Fogor, National Organizer, Susan Adu-Amankwah – 1st National Chair; Rodaline Imoru-Ayarna – 2nd National Vice Chair; Eunice Ametor-Williams; Prof Agyeman Badu Akosa; Dr Kwaku Osafo; Hon Kojo Armah; Kosi Dedey – Director of Party Education; Nii Armah Akomfrah – Director of Communication; Paul Anaman – Greater Accra Regional Secretary; Koo Mensah Frimpong – Greater Accra Regional Organiser and a host of Constituency Executives as well as party members.
The CPP received warm reception from the Clergy and the congregation, wishing the CPP well for election 2012 with prayers for Dr Sakara and the CPP entourage.
