It is in this month that the Republic of Ghana’s Supreme Court with the co-operation of stakeholders such as the National Democratic Congress(NDC) which won the elections, NPP which lost and Ghana’s independent Electoral Commission would address issues raised by the NPP in the petition filed at the Court in December last year.
In trying to do so, any decision by the Supreme Court could have a repercussion on the country be it positive or negative. One can only wish that the law takes its course. Posterity won’t forgive Ghanaians for any mishaps after the Supreme Court’s decision.
This among other political activities could contribute to rise in political temperature in the country which is not the wish of any peace-loving Ghanaian.
As far as this court issue could go, rivalry among friends, families, neighbours, just to mention a few due to party affiliation may be intensified and developing a country which has been polarized due to politics may be in vain.
The above may be very worrying but this same month; January has “water” to quench the “wild fire” which is capable of destroying the country. It comes in the form of football.
Ghanaians aside being peace¬-loving are a football-loving people. Words might not be enough to describe how Ghanaians love football. It is one thing which unites the country regardless of one’s political background, faith, ethnic and other identities that divide us.
This sense of unity comes around again as Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars participate in this year’s 29th Orange African Cup of Nations in South Africa...
