The National President of the Ghana Actors Guild (GAG), Mr Samuel Nii Odoi Mensah last Friday reiterated the need to consolidate the peace that Ghanaians have enjoyed as the country go to the polls on December 7 to elect its new leaders.

He said as actors, they don’t have money or diplomatic passports to enable them leave the country if there was fire in the upcoming elections.

“Unfortunately for us as actors, we don’t have diplomatic passports, we don’t have the money, we don’t have anywhere to go and so if Ghana is in fire, we will all die here.” He said.

Mr Odoi Mensah therefore called on politicians to accept the outcome of the December polls in good faith and not cause chaos so as to enable God to continue to shower his blessing on the nation.

“As actors, our job is to inform, entertain and educate. We are here to preach peace. I believe that most of you are Christians. The bible tells us that Jesus Christ came to the world, so we can make peace with God.”

He said the country can only continue to enjoy the peace that it’s enjoying if losers in the upcoming polls will concede defeat and congratulate the winners all in the interest of moving Ghana forward.
