The Electoral Commission must not attempt to rig the 2024 polls

Under no circumstances must Ghana's Electoral Commission attempt to rig the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, oooo, Ghanafuor. They will have the blood of hundreds of thousands on their hands, were they to attempt any rigging, in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.  Yooooooo...

For the sake of Mother Ghana, it is vital that the EC's current leadership, understand clearly, that at the end of the day, in the final analysis, the verdict of history can neither be procured through intimidation nor the distribution of fat-brown-envelopes full of dosh, oooo, Ghanafuor. Yooooooo...

Given the situation which the vast majority of Ghanaians are now grappling with (as they struggle to cope with, and survive galloping inflation), it would be most unfortunate, and unwise, for senior public servants appointed to supervise elections,to continue business as usual, and allow themselves to be manipulated by a government of the day, as has been the case since the inception of constitutional rule, in 1992, in Ghana's 4th Republic.
 
Surely, the current crop of the top brass of the EC, ought to know better (in a country reeling from an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis, which sits atop a ticking social time bomb), and ensure that their actions will place them firmly on the right side of history, by organising genuinely free and fair elections nationwide in December 2024: a moral imperative in a nation bankrupted by leaders ostensibly elected to transform the nation into a prosperous and equitable society, but who have ended up wrecking our national economy through excessive borrowing?

In that light, under no circumstances must the EC attempt to rig the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, oooo, Ghanafuor - as it would be tantamount to pouring kerosene on a smoldering fire. Enough really is enough, oooo. Full stop. Case closed. A word to the wise. Yooooooooo...
