Dear John Dramani Mahama,
If the election does not go your way, don't allow yourself to be pushed to soil your reputation as an extremely tolerant and peaceful leader.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting that you should condone injustice in order to impress others.
A man, our wise elders say, may swallow phlegm for the fear of offending others, but no sane man swallows poison for the same reason. So I'm not saying you should allow yourself to be cheated in order to keep the image of peace and tolerance.
If you have reasonable suspicions of electoral fraud and a reasonable amount of evidence to back the suspicions, channel them to the appropriate quarters. Those quarters, no matter how flawed they may be, are certainly better than violence.
Violence is like a bad rain. It does not fall on the roof of only your enemy.
There is 2024. You will still be younger than the age of your main contender when he first won.
You have put up an impressive and admirable fight in this race. There are lessons in this election for you. Your opponents. And Ghanaians.
A man does not burn his barn because his wife has starved him of food.
There is tomorrow, JM. And you stand a very good chance of winning the next election with ease.
Think about this. Think about the future. And the generations that look up to you.
Think about Ghana.
The lion and the antelope may have their differences, but neither of them would set the forest that shelters them ablaze.
Think about this before your next speech. Step. Or action.
Your friend,

Thank you Mr Azure Very deep thought. A word to the ........ God bless Ghana.......
Now JM is your friend. Hypocrite
The people around King Saul and King David played major role in their leadership responsibilities. Hope Former President would be sensitive to the Holy Spirit than human evil desires.
Am very much impressed about the wording of Manasse's letter to JM. The proverbs in it say them all. I hope Mr JM will read, understand and act on it. Thanks
These are indeed words of wisdom that need to be embraced by the recipient. Ghana needs peace.
I didn't know Manasseh is this intelligent. This advise to JM is so insightful. It may be so helpful to JM if it is not like washing a pig and dressing it with white clothes....hmmm won't it go back to the duddy dirty waters??.....Manasseh your advise is good but not for JM, he won't come back again to the presidential seat....to tracy Boakye and Mzbel and other slay girls....maybe yes.
If only he will listen. W wird to the wise "is in the north".
Manasseh, Thank you. Your words are apt and to the point. Deeply touched. Good lessons to be learnt by all of us. We cannot continue to take people for granted in public service. Not as public servants. Not as politicians. It's a privilege for one to serve this nation in wharever capacity. Manasseh, THANK YOU. You are a deep thinker. God bless you greatly.
Very deep and accurate words there .. Yes he is still young and might win the next elections if he really works hard as he did in this elections.. Good Health is all that he needs to wait for the next elections.. May God Keep us all Safe .. Ghana First and Peace follows ... I respect you Mr Awuni.. (R) Nana Tonto
