PNG GG Urges People to Vote Wisely and Prayerfully
H.E. Grand Chief Sir Bob Bofeng Dadae, Governor General of Papua New Guinea, is urging voters throughout the country to seek divine wisdom as they prepare to cast their votes when polling for the national general election begins next week.
Grand Chief Sir Bob said, casting of one’s vote in the national general elections is critical to realizing good governance that upholds transparency, democracy and prosperity for Papua New Guinea.
Grand Chief Sir Bob said, every vote is vital in determining the future of Papua New Guinea and therefore should not be taken lightly.
“As we head to the polls next week, I take this time to call on all Papua New Guineans to take seriously the votes they cast in this year’s national general elections. History has shown that where there is good leadership the nation and its people thrive. That is what we want for our nation, our children and the future generations of Papua New Guinea. I want to urge us all to seek divine wisdom through prayer in deciding who we want to see lead our nation into the future. With good leadership we can build our nation and together we can all benefit and reap positive results. There are a lot of issues that we need to address as a nation. Top among them are law and order, better health care right throughout our urban and rural communities, high stand of education for our children, employment opportunities, and a strong and vibrant economy that will contribute to better living standard and prosperity for our country. We need leadership that will serve the interests of the people without fear and favour and that will put the people and our nation above ego and self interest. Your vote matters. Vote wisely and prayerfully. Finally, I would like to urge every one of us to demonstrate respect and decency during this polling period and do our part to avoid violence and intimidation of our fellow country men and women participating in these elections. Such behavior have no place in our society and must not be encouraged. Let us unite together in choosing the best path forward for our country when we cast our votes in the coming weeks and days,” Grand Chief Sir Bob said.
