Ghana lives, Ghana will win

The whole world is waiting to see what Ghana will do next on 29th Aug. 2013 Very soon people will be glued to their television and radio sets to catch the verdict of the Supreme Court. When all is said and done, the social media by extension will be awash with tons of comments. International media is turning their coverage radar on Ghana. We should once again be known for what we do best, let the law flow its natural course, we should maintain our regional stability track record Now we are in a waiting room, like parents and family members waiting for a new born baby, no one knows the color nor the gender of that child.

Will Ghana maintain its accolade as "the Switzerland of Africa" and bacon of hope of Africa? A nation that weaned herself from political instability and military rule, a nation that has practiced democracy, and enjoyed uninterrupted political stability and peace since 1992.

The day that the Supreme Court of Ghana will give the the historic ruling is near, months have collapsed to weeks, and weeks to days, hours will give the baton to minutes and minutes to the final moment. Now we are confronted with opportunity to avoid calamity to enhance our democratic credentials. We have preached peace , we should not live in pieces We cast different votes but we have one hope to make Ghana a better place. As noble men and women in a respected country we choose rule of law to settle our differences. Now we are engaged in a great task, testing whether our nation is built on sound democratic foundation or on a shadow and sandy foundation. Let us all strive with love and dedication and build on the foundation laid by our loving and selfless leaders. What we do today will be a history for tomorrow. Let us all help and write a better history for tomorrow.

Let us help Ghana to live, let us help Ghana to win. Today Ghana lives, Ghana will win
