In life and politics, we do not see things as they are; we see things as we are. This truth explains much about Ghana’s political challenges and the divisions that hold us back.
Too often, we judge leadership through tribal, emotional, or partisan eyes.
When an NPP government develops the North, some call it politics.
When an NDC government builds in Ashanti, others call it a strategy.
But Ghana must move beyond suspicion and see development as a shared national gain, not a party achievement.
Our true freedom will come when we begin to see things as they are — not as our biases make them appear.
If we see clearly, we will choose wisely.
If we choose wisely, we will empower leaders who serve sincerely.
As we approach the 2028 elections and all primaries, I urge voters to open their eyes before they open their hearts.
See things as they are — the facts, the performance, and the integrity — before judging through emotion or party loyalty.
By doing so, we give power to the right kind of leadership.
My lifelong advocacy remains clear:
Ghana must become a modern welfare state — where every citizen has access to healthcare, education, housing, and opportunity; where leadership protects the vulnerable and rewards honest work.
This vision requires unity of purpose, not division of tribe.
Let us build a nation that sees through truth, not through prejudice.
When we change how we see, we change what we become.
And when we rise above who we are, we will finally see Ghana as she truly is — strong, fair, and full of promise.
