The National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress(NDC), George Opare Addo has cautioned potential appointees against disrespect.
Acknowledging there will be challenges, Pablo as he is popularly known has urged the appointees in the incoming administration to prioritise the interest of citizens.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, he emphasised the need not to take the people for granted, stating the appointees would have no jobs but for the unwavering support from the electorate.
“We should become servant leaders for the people who put us there. I pray against pride and greed because nobody will take that.
“To whom much is given, much is expected so we must do everything possible to protect the over 1.6 million vote margin Ghanaians have given us,” he said.
He noted that he would not countenance any disrespect from an appointee, particularly when people go to him or her for support.
“People gave us this power and we are servants of the people. We are here to serve and we will not take disrespect from anyone because the President Mahama I know will not disrespect anyone even people who insult him, he eats with them.
“They [appointees] should know at all times that they will accord people respect. We must mirror the leader we are following and bear in mind that the hard work and sacrifices of people put us in power,” he advised.
However, Pablo also admonished party faithful to exercise restraints and lower their expectations in their demands for peace to prevail.
“They should not take any action that will trigger anger. We must strive to respect everyone. We all sometimes lose it but we must try to apologise when we offend people,” he entreated.
