Nations are not like Phones; they are built upon and not reset- Kofi Tonto
A Political Aide to the Vice President, Mr. Kofi Tonto, has clapped back at the NDC, arguing that nations are not like phones or devices to be reset.
He posited that, instead of a total reset, as suggested by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ghana needs to build on its successes while fixing her challenges.
In a debate with the NDC’s Deputy Communications Director, Mr. Malik Basintale, on the Accra-based GHONE TV, Mr. Tonto argued that, “A nation is an amalgamation of many things. The positives and the negatives. The challenges and successes.
The duty of a government is to build on the successes while fixing the challenges.”
Unlike IPhones, nation’s cannot be reset. “A Nation is not an IPhone to be reset. What we expect of a government is to identify the challenges, work on them and then build on the successes it has chalked,” he further stressed.
Mr. Tonto could not fanthom why the NDC, which has been in opposition for 8 years, would actually consider the idea of a ‘reset’ as a viable campaign slogan.
Mr. Tonto further quizzed, “The country has trained 5.7 million children under the Free SHS program, are you going to reset that? Are you going to reset all the successes?”
He expressed confidence that his government has successfully navigated the challenges marking a turnaround.
