Professor Joseph Osafo, Head of the Center for Ageing Studies, UG, says Ghanaian electorates who have made up their minds not to vote in the December 7 polls due to their disappointment in political figures should reconsider their decision.
The Senior Psychologist advised Ghanaians of voting age to exercise their franchise stating it is their responsibility to vote against persons who have underperformed and usher in new ones who they believe can do a better job.
To him, it is unadvisable for any person to refuse to cast his or her vote, giving reasons that if the right people fail to elect right leaders, the wrong people will impose their favorites to rule over them.
"Angels cannot change a nation. It is people who change a nation. Trees and animals don't change a country, so we should change our minds and hearts", he stated on Peace FM's morning show "Kokrokoo".
Prof. Osafo urged Ghanaians to be proud of their nation, and must therefore turn up in their numbers during the general elections.
"I am very proud to be a Ghanaian", he said.

Prof, everyone is proud of been a Ghanaian but the truth still stands what does our MPs do? Speak big brufo and pay themselves all in the name of ex-gratia. When it comes to matters of development, both NPp and NDC will be doing unnecessary arguments but when is time to share the booty, they are one in s t e a l I n g. I am waiting on the day the average Ghanaian who can't even feed on $1 a day mobilize to hit parliament so they can k i l l all of us. They sent their kids to the best schools and yet tell us we have the best schools in west Africa. Let me breath and stop typing
