A Retired Army Commander WO 1 Mr. Agyei Darkwah, has advised Ghanaians, especially the youth not to kill themselves for politicians.
The retired officer believes that it is unwise to die because of politics because it is a silly death.
He was speaking at a National Commission for Civic Education Inter-party Dialogue Committee meeting at Sampa in the Jaman North District of the Bono Region on the theme: ”National Cohesion and inclusive participation in Governance”.
The retired officer who represented the National security stated that every die-hard supporter of a political party only become famous on the day of their burial ceremony.
He said it is unwise to follow politics and engage in violence in the name of your party and die at the end.
He posited that ”die-hard supporters become famous when they are dead and were being buried. When they die, all party members will attend their funeral including the President of the Republic if their government is in office.
You keep fighting for a party, engage in lawlessness for your party, your hands would be cut off without any benefits. Some lose their eyes and legs because of politics, and yet the party don’t care for them. So why kill yourself because of politics?”
”I am not asking you not to support a political party. Support a party but think about your life,” he added.
The Chairperson of Jaman North Local Council of Churches, who is also the Head pastor of the Church of Pentecost, Sampa District Pastor Benjamin Nobi, noted that prophets of the country must desist from putting into the public domain the prophecies about people.
He wants them to make a private approach to whom the prophecy was concerning.
He said prophets must apply wisdom to the prophecies and avoid making public prophecies, especially about death.
In his view, if we want to maintain peace, religious tolerance and discipline, these things must stop.
He admonished the Police to arrest all prophets who put such prophecies in public.
