Regent of Tolon encourages Ghanaians to maintain National credence

The Regent of Tolon in the Northern Region is encouraging Ghanaians to maintain the nation’s credence as the “Gateway to Africa” by shunning warmongers whose actions could lead to political upheavals as witnessed in neighboring countries. Major Retired Abubakari Sulemana cautioned insulting politicians against negative tendencies which are likely to create political turmoil in the country. He raised this concern at a day’s public forum on “Winner-takes all and political tolerance in Ghana, the experience of the Northern Region” organized by the Northern Sector Action on Awareness Centre (NORSAAC) in collaboration with Ibis Ghana. As Chairman of the event, the revered Tolon Regent said political vendetta should be discarded to promote national cohesion. He implored Ghanaians to zealously safeguard the nation’s political stability. Retired Major Sulemana suggested that successive governments should embrace the all-inclusive system of governance. This in his estimation could find solutions to fix the nation’s current economic challenges. He disagreed with the frequent situation where only members of governing political parties were appointed as public sector duty bearers. Retired Major Sulemana advocated the need for successive governments to appoint public office holders based on competence and patriotism regardless of their political affiliations. Executive Director of NORSAAC, Alhassan Mohammed Awal called for a paradigm shift from the winner-takes all mentality especially in the Northern Region. He cited the selective recruitment of people into the NYEP, GYEEDA, Zoom Lion and other public institutions as one of the negative repercussions of the winner-takes all governance structure.
