If you do not vote, those who do will elect those who decide the price of your kenkey, water, electricity, and fuel – Lecturer

A lecturer at the Department of Public Relations in the Faculty of Public Relations, Advertising, and Marketing at the University of Media, Arts, and Communication (UNIMAC), Noel Nutsugah, has encouraged every registered Ghanaian voter to participate in today’s presidential and parliamentary elections.

The lecturer and researcher posited that it is a civic responsibility for every Ghanaian voter to participate in the exercise.

In a Facebook post, the lecturer stated that those who have refused to participate in the exercise will vote for leaders who will decide how much they will spend on bread, kenkey, fuel, electricity, water, and other items.

He said that it is also the responsibility of every Ghanaian voter to participate in the exercise because the winner will determine the taxes Ghanaians must pay.

He stated that if Ghanaians do not vote, there will be consequences, emphasising the importance of voting as a civic duty for all.

He wrote ‘’Abi you say as for you di3 you don’t do politics right? Don’t worry. We who “do politics” will vote on your behalf. We’ll determine who becomes the next president who will then determine how much you buy bread, kenkey, fuel, electricity, water, dollar and so on. The fellow will determine what taxes you should pay and all. Even the amount of money you take home at the end of the month and how much of that you can save, including how much interest you get when you save your money will all be determined by the person.

If you don’t go out to vote today, these and many more are the implications. It’s a Civil Duty.

Go and let your voice be heard. Most of all, remain vigilant yet peaceful.

All the best!
