TBM Writes… Respect constituted authorities or you kill your political career prematurely

Listen To Story

There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, political, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.

 

Everything can be taken from a man, but the last of the human freedoms: to choose one’s attitudes in any given set of circumstances.

 

Today, We voice our abiding admiration to our constituencies in the Greater Accra region especially Dome – Kwabenya because their personal, administrative and grassroots lives have been turned upside down, yet they continue to step forward into this firestorm without complaint, without regard to their sacrifices, and without interest in political gain. Leadership in its most basic form is doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done, no matter how difficult. You are carrying the mantle of leadership as if it weighs nothing, but it is a very heavy burden in these times.

 

 

Reorganization of our party National Democratic Congress (NDC) ie. Registration of New Members, an exhibition of registers, the opening of nominations, vetting of candidates, and finally elections provide an important opportunity to advance democratization and encourage political liberalization. We’re very grateful to all our CEC members in Greater Accra Region both old and current for making the electoral process free and fair. Certain civil liberties, such as the freedoms of speech, association, and assembly, were tolerated and thus the way to go. Kudos to our electoral College and our leaders for such a peaceful exercise so far.

 

Hmm… An African proverb reads, “A child who knows how to wash his hands, dines with Elders” Ooohh Yess!!!

Wealth without work.

Pleasure without conscience.

Knowledge without character.

Commerce without morality.

Science without humanity.

Worship without sacrifice.

Politics without principle can create chaos, which ultimately leads to violence. Hence let’s not allow ourselves to be deceived by any unscrupulous individuals against constituted authorities because it can kill our political ambitions.

 

 

Life doesn’t make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that the better for us all.”

“Once you start making the effort to ‘wake yourself up that is, be more mindful in your activities—you suddenly start appreciating life a lot more.”

“We are what we are because we have been what we have been, and what is needed for solving the problems of human life and motives is not moral estimates but more knowledge.”
