Actress Lydia Forson has shared her opinion on the political options available to Ghanaians ahead of the 2020 elections.
She compared this year’s election to choosing between an abusive ex-boyfriend and your current partner who takes you for granted.
Ghanaians are expected to choose between the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), the two major political parties in Ghana.
From the post by the actress, both parties have performed below expectation.
“…this year’s elections feel like having to choose between your ex who cheated on you and wants a second chance, your current who treats you like he’ll never lose you, and other suitors you’ve never given yourself time to know”
“Do you give your ex another chance, work it out with your current or open yourself up to the possibilities of other suitors?”
“Or do you pause, look at yourself in the mirror reflect on all your decisions and try to understand why you keep getting into relationships and sometimes ‘entanglements’ with people who treat you the way they do?” She wondered.
Lydia Forson told Ghanaians not to be swayed by the promises made by politicians.
“The truth is, a lot of us are easily swayed when politicians come and whisper sweet nothings into our ears, and it doesn’t take much for us to spread our legs”
“But we’ve got to learn to set some standards, or they will continue to dangle shiny things in front of us whenever they’re horny”
“And once they’re satisfied, they will leave us without the decency of Uber fare home”
The actress wants the populace to hold whoever is elected accountable for the welfare of all.
