It has been a long time since we took leave of the newsstands.
During our absence, so much water passed under the bridge and expectedly so.
We belong to a country where politics has a large followership and, having come from a rather hectic and exciting elections, there must be so much to report on the pages of your favourite Daily Guide.
Polarisation of our politics has triggered assortment of conversations with public interest commonness.
The entrenched positions and varying opinions alongside sometimes absence of sincerity make observation and reporting, our pastime, exciting and impactful.
It was during the unfolding developments without us reporting that our great patrons felt our absence.
We too missed the times and fretted over our inability to serve the cause of our beloved Ghana.
It was during the hiatus as it were that the love for our readership was determined.
We have had so many calls of enquiries as to what had gone amiss. We did not know how much we too have been contributing towards the shaping of our beloved Ghana, and for that matter the world from our small corner.
We wish to express regrets for not informing our respectful readers about the necessary leave of absence.
It was necessary to undertake a major overhaul of our operations so we can serve our country better.
Dear esteemed readers, we are back and as we do, we count on your usual unalloyed support –gesture we cannot do without in our fast moving socio-economic ambience.
Our readers have been with us through rain or shine, and we must acknowledge the encouraging goodness.
We will not relent in our efforts in serving as a sentinel of our country, which more than ever before requires all hands on deck in upgrading.
We shall not hesitate to shout out shortcomings and political trespasses in the country regardless of whose ox is gored.
We all have roles to play to ensure that Ghana witnesses that development she needs, so she can find an appropriate place in the comity of nations, our side of the political divide notwithstanding.
‘Ghana first’, ‘Building the Ghana We Want’ among other slogans, should go beyond sloganeering.
A new government is in place and appointments are being made as the President gradually commences laying out his policies.
There is no honeymoon period as our compatriots demand of the President to hit the ground running.
It will not be a walk in the park, as Ghanaians want to see the implementation of the policies which the President dangled in front of them when he was campaigning.
No excuses would be countenanced because before taking office, the President, being someone with a previous experience at the exalted office, has a unique understanding of the state of affairs.
He chose a resetting mode, which for him is what Ghana needs now.
We shall observe and report how things pan out, especially as others said an upgrade would be preferable.
