There is absolutely nothing wrong with what the Chief Justice said

The Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie's call for nation building to support President John Dramani Mahama's agenda has been wrongly accused of being partisan politics. The Chief Justice clarified that his statement, "Pres. Mahama’s agenda is one that will benefit Ghana," is a call for collective support, not partisan politics, and is in fact an expression of patriotism.

The Constitution allows every Ghanaian, including Justices, to express their opinions on matters of national interest. The Chief Justice's statement is not a call for a specific party's victory, but rather a plea for citizens to back a development agenda that he believes will benefit Ghana as a whole. This aligns with the principles of leadership and the responsibility of a Chief Justice, who is expected to promote the nation's progress.

The hypocrisy of criticizing the Chief Justice while past Chief Justices made similar calls for government support is also brought to light, urging for a fair and united stance towards Ghana's development.
