Isaac Kofi Dzokpo also known as Ike Decomedian has asked youths to stay away from electoral violence as much as they can.

The comic actor, who was featured in the famous 'Beasts of No Nation' movie, has come out to warn individuals to abstain from electoral violence before, during, and after the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections.

He reasoned that Ghana is a giant in Africa; a country which other African countries look to for guidance, therefore, she should not be an example of countries where elections which should normally end in peace sometimes turn to be bloody in some parts of Africa.

“We are saying that conflicts and wars are not good and hinder national development.

"So as the elections are getting closer, we are having movies and short videos to put a smile on the faces of Ghanaians. Because there may be some level of election tensions and fear,” he told the media in an interview.

Ike who is also the Director with Laughter Palace Production has said that he and his team will be making funny videos to ease the tension during the entire period of the elections. 

"We are also coming up with videos that would educate, entertain, and inform the public.

"We will not talk about only politics. You will hear social issues and ill behaviours in our society all in the form of comedy in order to entertain Ghanaians,”

“We are one nation and need to treat each other as a family despite our political colours.

"We are not ready to welcome war, Ghana as a country is not ready for any conflict so we must maintain the peace and tranquillity we are enjoying as a nation. Before peace and tranquillity will be achieved we need to be at peace with each other as a family and as one people,” he stressed.

Isaac Dzokpo recounted how some Liberian characters, during the acting of the Beasts of No Nation, were crying because they remember what happened in their nation some years back.

“The movie reminds them of what they witnessed some years back. So as a Beasts of No Nation character, I have seen that Ghana as a country needs to maintain the peace that we are enjoying.

He emphasised that youths should not become instruments of violence used by politicians.

“As an upcoming comedian, I am fired up to bring the best in me. I am ready to put a smile on the faces of Ghanaians and comedy lovers across the globe.

"My ultimate aim is to put a smile on the faces of people so my team and I are ready with the support from Ghanaians to make this a great success,” Ike Decomedian assured.
