Vollta Regional Minister, Honourable James Gunu, has taken a bold step to show solidarity with victims of the recent tidal waves in Ketu South. He spent the night with the displaced individuals to experience their struggles firsthand. The devastating tidal waves have left over 600 people without homes, destroying burial grounds, residences, and other properties in communities such as Amutinu, Agavedzi, and Salakope.
Gunu's selfless act is a shining example of empathy and compassion in leadership. In a social media post, he explained that his decision to spend the night at the temporary shelter was to better understand the victims' struggles and formulate a permanent solution. This kind of leadership is a breath of fresh air in Ghana's political landscape.
Now, let us reflect on James Gunu's actions in the context of ancient proverbs. His selfless leadership is a reminder that "when the cock crows, the village wakes up." It's time for our leaders to wake up and take action, prioritizing the needs of their people above all else. As the proverb goes, "a river that does not flow will soon dry up." Gunu's actions demonstrate that he is committed to being a flowing river, bringing life and energy to the people he serves.
In African culture, a leader who walks among his people is considered a true leader. James Gunu's actions have shown that he is willing to get his hands dirty and take bold action to serve his people. As the proverb goes, "a leader who does not walk among his people will never truly know their struggles." Gunu's actions are a beacon of hope for Ghana's future.
However, we must caution that James Gunu's humble beginning must not be a "nine day wonder." We must ensure that his actions are not just a one-time publicity stunt, but rather a consistent demonstration of his commitment to serving the people. As the African proverb goes, "the youth are the future leaders." Let us empower them to build a better future for our nation.
The ball is now in the court of other leaders and appointees in the current government. Will they follow James Gunu's example and demonstrate a commitment to serving the people? Or will they continue to prioritize their own interests and ignore the struggles of the common man? The choice is theirs, but one thing is clear: the people are watching, and they will not forget.
As we move forward, let us remember the wise words of our ancestors: "the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second-best time is now." Let us take action now to build a better future for our nation, inspired by the selfless leadership of James Gunu.
In conclusion, Ghanaians will never regret voting for John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). James Gunu's action is a true reflection of the characters in the NDC; and it is a shining example of what it means to be a true leader. Let us hope that his example will inspire other leaders to follow in his footsteps and demonstrate a commitment to serving the people. As the proverb goes, "when elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers." Let us ensure that our leaders are not fighting for their own interests, but rather working together to build a better future for all.
