Head of Linguistics at the University of Ghana, Professor Kofi Agyekum has advised Ghanaians to detach their sentiments from the upcoming elections.
Speaking in a media interview, Prof. Kofi Agyekum, widely known as “Opanyin Agyekum”, sermonized that no matter the outcome of the election, a group of people will either be happy or sad post-election.
He therefore cautioned the citizenry not to allow themselves to be emotionally affected by the elections stating they should not let the election outcome become detrimental to their health or living.
“Do not take the election to heart to avoid heartbreaks and falling sick”, he stated.
Opanyin Agyekum also urged all electorates to go to the polls and cast their votes stressing “if you don’t go to vote, someone will elect a leader you may not like to rule over you as well”.
He further encouraged all and sundry to exercise their franchise also because “a vote counts in the election of the next President of the country”.
