A businessman and philanthropist has advocated peace among citizens in upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections.
According to Emmanuel Kojo Jones Mensah, it is incumbent on the youth, whom he believes are the building force of the society to promote and maintain peace before, during and after the polls.
He explained that, violence is not the way to go in deciding who takes the mantle of leadership in a country.
Against this backdrop, the CEO of Empire Domus admonished the youth to vote peacefully and wisely as they go to the polls to exercise their franchise.
He was of the view that the destiny of the country lies in the hands of the young and must therefore be jealously guarded.
"I will urge the youth of our country to vote peacefully and at the same time wisely. The destiny of our country is in our hands" he said.
Mr Jones Mensah, who is also the founder of KJM Foundation wants the electorate to protect Ghana’s reputation as the beacon of hope in Africa.
"Ghana has always been the beacon of hope for Africa. We've worked so hard to project this image for our dear country. We must protect the destiny of our nation by voting peacefully and wisely," he said.
He further called on Ghanaians in positions of leadership to preach peace during this period to ease the accompanying tensions.
