MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A FULFILLING NEW YEAR

SONETCO Institute wishes our fellow Ghanaians both home and abroad as well as comrades with inclination to scientific socialism with respect and belief in democracy a hearty and warm season of love and sharing during this yuletide.

We pat every citizen on the shoulder for holding this country together during a marathon petition, “dumso” experiences, consistent fire outbreaks, industrial, civil & academic strikes and the tragic loss of our industrious son, Prof Kofi Awoonor and many others. When even the world and international communities were not sure of what will become of Ghana as SI-Intel Unit broke the state of their fear and was confirmed by the US embassy, we stood as Ghanaians leading the pace of democracy. This success can't be a mean achievement to be kept under the quiet. Ghanaians ayekoo and afrihyiapa. We'll want to use this opportunity to wish our President his Excellency John Dramani Mahama and his team ayekoo and afrihyiapa for their steadfastness during all the turbulent moment. Not every president can be a leader in such moments as mentioned earlier and still be hopeful where even despondency stared us in the face.

Your Excellency, you can be sure of SI steadfastness to be objective and forthcoming on issues and matters that will hinder or advance Ghana's development. We'll state the issues as it is if decisions to be taken will inure to us as a people especially the ordinary Ghanaian who is our reason in existence as a think tank and institute.

What can we say of the numerous, media houses? Together we consistently spoke to Ghanaians and the international community. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a more partnering working year in 2014. Modern Ghana online, Ghana web, xyz fm and online, Radio Gold, Peace fm, Metrofm online, ghanastate online,Al-hajj newspaper, myjoyonline, New York Times, Democrat Now, BBC radio, Naspa fm Uk, Vision fm USA, Unique Fm and many more other media houses.

We must redefine governance, democracy and development which the ordinary citizen is the focus, we must use all means legitimately possible to advance the cause of mother Ghana. We use this opportunity too, to appeal to all Ghanaians, to celebrate with caution, drive with caution; and to other road users, commute with caution too. The best asset Ghana has is her human resource base, let's cross to 2014 together so we can brace up for a fulfilling year. It's easy to get caught up in all the business of Christmas, but we wish you Merry Christmas and a fulfilling new year full of the most important things.

"May we all show each other the love and patience that we may not deserve this Christmas. This is the true spirit of Christmas." "It's easy to get caught up in all the business of Christmas, but I'm wishing you a peaceful Christmas full of the most important things." "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May you be surrounded by all the things that bring Christmas cheer." "May you be reminded of all the most important things in your life this Christmas. Merry Christmas!" "We hope you are surrounded by beauty and comfort this Christmas season." "Blessings, love, and peace to you this Christmas." "Hoping you can feel love, joy, and peace this Christmas season." "The beauty of the Christmas season can remind us of all the beauty in life that we take for granted. Our family, our friends, and our faith." "Keep Christmas a time of celebration and love. Don't let Christmas become a chore. Don't let Christmas bring strife to your home."
