Dear Mrs. Charlotte Osei,
I am not sure why anyone would want to argue against your appointment as EC BOSS. Your gender means nothing and nobody really cares if you are a man or woman. Luck had less to do with it than courage, hard work, intelligence and hard-earned confidence.
Of course, the challenges ahead are enormous, difficult and dangerous but the good thing is that these challenges will automatically bow to authorities who stand for truth and transparency. That’s what we expect from your administration. Much has been given to you and much is expected from you.
Madam, may I however remind you that the Ghanaian is no longer stupid, we have grown and are still growing. It is some of our leaders who are still getting comical and childish by the day and if you choose to join the grand scheme of comedy, you will be laughing at your own jokes! Be reminded of what greed and dishonesty can do, they damage your sense of reasoning and make you a recipe of senseless political experiment.
Be strong and graceful and may your words be sensible. The world will not send peacekeepers to Ghana under your watch, neither will refugee camps be created in this country under your administration. We are watching you and we will judge you by your actions and not by your gender or academic credentials.
Posterity will also judge you if this country burns. I wish you well…For if God has brought you to this river, He will definitely help you cross it!! Don’t be another wasted opportunity.
