Use brain power instead of brawn power -Afoko Charges Youth
Businessman and Politician Paul Awentami Afoko has
charged the youth to resort to their brains in
finding solutions to the many problems confronting
the country rather than allow themselves be used
by politicians in perpetuating political
violence.

He believes the country has reached a stage where
brain power is superior to brawn power and
therefore underscored the need for the youth who
are the direct successors of the country, to
consider this option in solidifying its future.

In his view, Ghana is bigger than any political
party and therefore upright citizens mostly made
of its youth should rise up in arms against
individuals who will want to orchestrate violence
in all forms in the pursuit of a clandestine
agenda.

Addressing executives of the National Union of
Ghana Students (NUGS) at their 50th handing over
ceremony at the GB auditorium of the Ghana
Institute of Management and Public Administration
(GIMPA), he appealed to the youth to eschew all
forms of extremism and political violence.

“Ghana is the only country we have and it is
older than any political party. We should not
allow politicians to divide us coerce us into
violent acts that will be detrimental to the
current peace enjoyed by the country. I pray for
that day the country’s politics will be done
devoid of violence where parties will accept
criticisms in good faith to better ourselves as a
country”, he emphasized.

According to him, nature binds Ghanaians together
irrespective of cultural and religious backgrounds
adding that this is done to ensure that the
citizenry peacefully coexist to foster development
to inure to the benefit of all.

“We should strengthen this bond and pledged our
individual unflinching support to one another in
the interest of national unity before, during and
after the December polls where Ghana will become
the ultimate winner”, he concluded
