John Rawlings is a Prime Mover and a liberator

Tue, 3 Dec 2013 Source: Hardi, Ibrahim

.....of our time,Congratulations to brave

men of June fourth.

On this day they risk their life to lift us up, many years have passed

and the ideas still live on. When some of us in our teens remember that

faithful day, we can say it was a historic event from day one. What a

moment to be proud of and if you are among those students who were part

of that great history. I salute you!!!.

It is time to congratulate all those individuals who over the years

have kept their faith with the former President J. J. Rawlings more

especially the past few years when I think his works and that of Dr.

Kwame Nkrumah have come under total destruction but they did not allow

it to happen.

The years ahead call for further dedication,

sacrifices and courage in shaping the destiny of this country slowly but

surely. It’s going to be harder than all that we have truly passed

through because we cannot help betraying the people’s trust anymore. For

those our leaders who now take leadership role, they should bear this

point in mind each waking moment for they will not be spared at all. For

those who will complain negatively in public about this glorious day,

know deep in their heart that the man Jerry John Rawlings is indeed a

great son of not only Ghana but Africa. We are very proud that we have

produced another great leader for the African people. For the enemy

within us, it’s time to reflect whether the job being done for the paid

masters is worth it. We salute you but the greatest respect that will

come to you is for every true Ghanaian to protect these noble goals and

objectives of June 4th these people laid your lives for. Even though

there is much work to be done, we Ghanaians must feel very proud that

the man is around that should have simply make us more united and

forward looking but our distractors are at their old games once again.

The past few years alone is a remarkable playback of what happened to

our first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

The June 4th revolution

brought about a process of giving power to the people; that journey was

quite hard and long above all our future is entirely within our own

control. It is not at the mercy of any capricious or uncertain external

power. It shouldn’t have been so hard and long but human nature is such

that we always fear change even if it will uplift our lives. What we

have gone through is just a small part of the journey the only issues at

stake now are that the past can remind us when we make certain

decisions which we have made in the past and they have failed us badly

we cannot go back to think that this time it will work because there is a

different person in charge. We have to take a new approach even if it

means going outside the box to solve problems no matter how painful it

will be; we must be bold and courageous. Power to the people is great

statement and it has lived with us for years. However, to all cadres,

the greatest approach will be self discipline, honesty and the desire to

self educate ourselves to understand what really is in front of us. If

we do so, there will be unity of purpose within the rank and file of the

NDC party as a whole; this is a very important issue. As dedicated

cadres home and abroad we should understand that the cake is so big that

we cannot only think of ourselves and our immediate family only but

with hard work, with honesty we can even make life far better for

everyone including our distracters; with that there will be no fear

towards the future, the system that we are able to create will take care

of everyone. Currently, there seems to be lack of total understanding

of the task ahead of so many individuals in some small positions of

power. It is the duty of all well meaning Ghanaians to stand up if we do

just that those entire little minds that feel that being a Minister or

MMdces so is all about change Ghanaians voted for. Freedom will

guarantee that people pursue good intentions and virtues, through

principles such as honesty and respect for one another.

Personal

happiness, wealth, honesty and integrity will further promote our

ability to learn and understand our freedoms, because our options have

exponentially multiplied. By continuing to build upon the foundations of

ideals and principles on which ndc party was laid, our people will

continue to walk forwards through evolution. It has often been said

“that’s one small step for humanity, one giant leap for mankind”.

People’s power is ultimately humanity’s ability to agree on key issues

for the general improvement of society. People’s power includes every

human on the planet, whilst political, economic or corporate motivate

organizations can be secular, preferential and biased towards equitable

development.

Therefore, developing people’s power and human

sufficiency will contribute to the positive evolution of our society and

will advance the dreams and desires of the gallant soldiers who laid

their lives on the 4th of June 1979 revolution to save this country for

good.

The solution lies in empowering individuals because it takes

the collective entrepreneurial actions of hundreds of thousands of

citizens to create a buoyant economy.

“Liberty is not a means to a

higher political end. It is itself the highest political end”, is a

famous saying which typifies what a truly egalitarian society with good

intentions would endeavor to achieve. History has never been dominated

by majorities, but only by dedicated minorities who stand

unconditionally on their faith.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said “Almost always the creative, dedicated minority

has made the world better”.

Finally I salute the former President J. J. Rawlings and his family and

wish him long life. People who believe in the truth need you around at

all times.

It is believed that the outermost sphere of the fixed

stars was moved by the Prime Mover, the liberator which governed the

entire universe. I therefore dedicate this article to the former

President Jerry John Rawlings and his brave men who decided to take a

bold stand to serve this country on June 4th 1979. Jerry John Rawlings

hate him or like him is therefore a Prime Mover and a liberator of our

time.
