NDC’s Council of Elders need you after December 17

I am a citizen and an NDC Zealot

I am the son of the Gong Gong Beater who is coming in peace

An Igbo Proverb says that “A fly that does not heed advice follows the corpse to the grave”

Article 24 of the NDC constitution makes provision for the Council of Elders. It gives some very important personalities a part to play in our Democratic dispensation considering the calibre of people contesting

A contest is good in democracy. It brings about new ideas, and opportunities and exposes diverse challenges. Let us all be measured in our speeches throughout the campaign season so we do not go back to say we are sorry for the things we said.

Some important personalities will surely join the COUNCIL OF ELDERS of our great party after December 17, 2022, because he or she has such great qualities that would be needed in the 2024 elections.

I agree everyone who is a delegate has a part to play in the upcoming National Delegate Conference but remember that in exercising that vote the NDC must be supreme

The following African proverbs should guide all delegates and every aspirant

Reflect on the following;

“There is no such thing as a perfect leader or a sweet onion”

“Poor leaders are like palm wine, they neither keep secrets nor fulfil promises”

“If you go through the high grass where the elephant has already gone through, you don’t get wet with dew”

“Corrupt leaders do not see their faults but the fault in others”

“Don’t set sail on someone else’s star”

“The foxy leader has a hundred proverbs; ninety-nine are mere rubbish concerning him”

“To wash a donkey’s tail is a loss of time and soap”

“The disobedient fowl obeys in a pot of soup”

“The mouth is responsible for discord among people”

“A big thing that is coming does not beat a drum”
