Don’t die for politicians – Abu Sakara urges Ghanaians
The flag-bearer of the Convention People's Party
(CPP), Dr Michael Abu Sakara Foster, has advised
the electorate, especially the youth, to be wary
of people who, for their political ambitions,
would want to lure them to resort to violence
during elections.

Dr Sakara, who was addressing the congregation of
the St Kizito Catholic Church at Nima last Sunday,
noted that no Ghanaian politician was worth dying
for.

The CPP flag-bearer, who was at the church to give
thanks to God for his election as flag-bearer,
noted, "No one is worth dying for. Don't fight for
any political party. We should not even fight over
the outcome of the elections."

Dr Sakara urged Christians to pray for continuous
peace before, during and after the December
elections and also advised them to exercise their
civic responsibility by voting for the party of
their choice.

Just before he prayed for the CPP team, Rev Father
Nicholas Afriyie, who is the Secretary to the
Bishop, chastised politicians who moved from
church to church and asked for God's guidance and
the support of the congregation when they were
seeking to be elected, only to turn their backs on
God when they were elected.

He also wondered why, when in opposition,
politicians joined the electorate to complain
bitterly about the high cost of living,
unemployment and other hardships but became blind
and immune to those difficulties when they assumed
power.

He suggested to the leadership of the country to
inculcate in the young ones the habit of
discipline and hard work and used the saying, "You
cannot teach an old dog new tricks" to support his
advice.

Dr Sakara was accompanied by Abu Fogor, the
National Organiser of the CPP; Susan Adu-Amankwah,
the First National Chairperson; Rodaline
Imoru-Ayama, the Second National Vice-Chairperson;
Kosi Dedey, the Director of Party Education; Nii

Organiser; Prof Agyeman Badu Akosa, Dr Kwaku Osafo
