Dr. MacKorley urged the fans to hold on to the peace Ghana is enjoying and not create violence. He said living in peace is what everyone wants. “We are one people. We should not kill ourselves because of elections. It is just a democratic process. After voting go home and relax, when it is time for the result, come out and listen, no need to fight when jubilating or defeated” he said.
