Dear John Dramani Mahama,
If the elections don’t go your way, don’t be pressured to tarnish your reputation as an extremely tolerant and peaceful leader.
Do not misunderstand. I’m not suggesting that you should tolerate injustice in order to impress others.
A man, our wise elders say, may swallow phlegm for fear of offending others, but no sane man ingests poison for the same reason. So I’m not saying that you should allow yourself to be fooled into maintaining the image of peace and tolerance.
If you have reasonable suspicions of voter fraud and a reasonable amount of evidence to support the suspicions, channel them to the appropriate quarters. Those neighborhoods, faulty as they are, are certainly better than violence.
Violence is like a torrential rain. It doesn’t just fall on your enemy’s roof.
There is 2024. You will still be younger than the age of your top contender when he first won.
You have put up an impressive and admirable fight in this race. There are lessons in this choice for you. Your opponents. And Ghanaians.
A man does not burn his barn because his wife has deprived him of food.
There is a tomorrow, JM. And you have a good chance of winning the next election with ease.
Think about this. Think about the future. And the generations that admire you.
Think of Ghana.
The lion and the antelope may have their differences, but neither of them would set fire to the forest that protects them.
Think about this before your next speech. He passed. Or action.
Your friend,
Manasseh Azure Awuni.
