A CULLED SUMMARY
Preamble:
Google’s meta AI defines the phrase “a man’s word is his bond,” as: “an idiom that means someone will always keep their promises. It’s a sign of honor and integrity to keep a verbal [or even better yet, an express promise]” So, what?
To wit: We, the people, stand united – both as the victorious and defeated, to respectfully solicit the following 12 tenets, which the President -Elect, during his campaign, socially-contracted with the people of Ghana. Thusly, after having rewarded his good intentions with a resounding drub mandate on all fronts, couldn’t, and shouldn’t we alert, WADR, that SIR; it’s time for FULL STEAM AHEAD, PLEASE?: viz
- FIRST 14 DAYS (Jan 8th-22nd): Nominate the complete list of his CABINET MINISTERS
- FIRST 90 DAYS (Jan 8th-Mar 8th): Constitute the LEANEST MOST EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT
- FiRST 120 DAYS (Jan 8th-May 8th): Establish a CODE OF CONDUCT & STANDARDS (for his government)
- FIRST 120 DAYS (Jan 8th-May 8th): Hold a NATIONAL ECONOMIC DIALOGUE

Conclusion:
Needless to emphasize: we pray that the man’s word will, indeed, be proven to be his bond; and we wish more grace and afford to HE, Mr President; the majority of Ghanaians have your back, Sir!
Now, will we stand aloof to just watch him fail? Negative! So, let’s man the ramparts to spread the word; and let’s, WADR, hold the president-elect’s feet to the proverbial fire; with ubuntu, shall we?, Beloved patriot!
