Once again Ghanaians have shown to the whole world that it is better to
resort to the rule of law to resolve disputes rather than through
violent means. This was as a result of the Election Petition Case before
the Supreme Court of the country. This has shown how democracy is
gradually gaining grounds in the country and i hope other African
countries are learning some lessons from what just happened in Ghana.
Currently the Justices of the Supreme Court are yet to come out with
their ruling on the Election Petition. As they take their time to come
out with a ruling that will not jeopadize the nation's fledgling
democratic dispensation, Ghanaians have been asked to accept the ruling
of the Justices of the Supreme Court. The National Peace Council and the
two political parties involved in the dispute have all taken it upon
themselves to educate their followers not to resort to violence when the
final ruling comes out. The security agencies have also been put on
alert to curb any form of violence that will arise as a result of the
final ruling. I believe and hope that Ghanaians as peaceful as they are
will accept the final ruling on the Election Petition and not plunge the
nation into chaos and destruction. Lets all not forget that Ghana is
bigger than any political party and any individual's interest. Lets all
do our best to ensure that the peace that we have enjoyed in this
country is sustained and strengthened. We have only one Ghana and there
is no place like home. God bless Ghana my homeland and make her great
and strong.
