THE Assembly Member for the Keyime Electoral Area, Mr Daniel Agbesi Latsu, has urged schoolchildren to emulate the tenacity of Dr Kwame Nkrumah to serve as driving forces to success in all their endeavours.
He said they should avoid the blame game at the slightest opportunity because Dr Nkrumah persisted in the independence struggle and liberated the Gold Coast from colonial rule.
“If, after 52 years of independence, we shall sit down and complain, then God save us,” he declared.
Mr Latsu said this at the independence day parade for schoolchildren drawn from Adzonkor, Keyime, Keklebesi, Wudzedeke, Agbalevi and Atsrulume in the Adaklu–Anyigbe District last weekend.
He said if people complained about falling standards in education, yet schoolchildren were not committed to their studies, parents were not committed to the needs of children and teachers were found wanting in their approach to duty, then it was unjustifiable to put the blame on any individual or group.
“We need to identify our potential and resources, look through the problems and see those that we can fight against with our few resources. Then we can use that to lobby the government and non-governmental organisations to come to our aid in fighting those beyond our means,” he said.
Mr Latsu advised the children to tolerate one another and praised them for living in peace, irrespective of their political affiliations.
