Should all Ghana's opposition parties kick against any EC ban on deploying drones to monitor polling stations?

Dear critical-reader, should all the opposition parties in Ghana kick against any ban by the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC), on the deployment of drones to monitor polling station activities, on voting day, during this December's presidential and parliamentary elections?

It is odd in the extreme that the  EC, according to its Director of Electoral Services, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe (who apparently says that polling stations are
"security zones", lol), will ban the deployment of drones in polling stations across Ghana, planned by the largest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), dear critical-reader. Amazing.

Perhaps the question that a wise and aspirational African people, who want peaceful, free and fair presidential and parliamentary elections, this  December,  such as Ghanaian voters,  ought to ponder over is:
Won't drones make for polling station transparency, right across the entirerity of the territorial landmass of our beleaguered and bankrupted Republic, anaaa, lol?

In that light, the purported technologically-atavistic  response of Dr. Serebour Quaicoe on plans for the deployment of drones, by the NDC, is ominous in the extreme, oooo, Ghanafuor.

That is why there are independent-minded souls, in the Ghana of today, whose sense of patriotism will force them to interpret Dr. Serebour Quaicoe 's nonsensical response, as indicative of the existence of secret poll rigging plans by the  EC, which the deployment of drones monitoring polling station activities during the pivotal December presidential and parliamentary elections, will somehow thwart, wai, Ghanafuor.

For such independent-minded patriotic Ghanaians, banning the deployment of drones in polling stations nationwide, would  really be intolerable - and in their view, must not be acquiesced to, by any of the opposition parties,  under any circumstances, oooo, Ghanafour. As far as they are concerned, all the opposition parties must kick against any such ban, by the EC. Full stop. Case closed.  Yooooooo. A word to the wise...
