The Convention People’s Party (CPP) believes that the rising tide of prophecies in Ghana’s 2020 general elections could plunge the country into chaos.
According to the party, as much as Ghanaians are at liberty to exercise their rights to faith, this should not grant religious fanatics the licence to inflame expectations.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra, the Acting General Secretary of the CPP, Mr James Kwabena Bomfeh, said: “prophecies if anything should be left out of the public discourse especially as not all Ghanaians believe in them.”
He pointed out that “faith is personal in our secularity.” and “elections are both a process and product.
If the process is wrong, the product cannot be right.”
The press conference was held to mark the 70th-anniversary celebration of the Positive Action Day, which heralded the independence of Ghana.
Mr Bomfeh said the CPP believes that the importance of the Positive Action Day deserves a place in Ghana’s national calendar of sacred days in history.
Mr Bomfeh, said the Positive Action Day “was one of the critical moments where workers, farmers, youth, women, men, chiefs and all sections of the society United in the mobilization against the usurpers and foreign occupiers of our land.”
The positive action campaign, which first started on January 8, 1950, was a series of political protests and strikes in pre-independence Ghana launched by the Founder of the CPP, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah based on the Gandhian Philosophy of non-violence positive action.
The weapons used for the PAD were strikes, boycotts, and noncooperation, based upon the principle of non-violence.
Mr Bomfeh Jnr called on all Ghanaian to be wary of prophecies about the 2020 general elections.
