I don&#8217;t understand whether it means I am no longer a citizen of Ghana or what. The most consequential decision which this generation of Ghanaians are going to make is the one on December 7. That is the most consequential decision; it concerns all of us.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In fact, in my view, it will be irresponsible for anybody to keep quiet about who their preference is. We all have to decide which way Ghana should go. I am not going to keep quiet today, and I am not going to keep quiet tomorrow.
