Politicians cautioned over dividing
the country on political lines
Ejisu (Ash), Nov. 19, Ghanadot/GNA - The Right Reverend Dr
Yaw Frimpong-Manso, Moderator of General Assembly of
Presbyterian Church of Ghana, has appealed to politicians
not to engage in activities that could divide the country on
political lines.
Rt. Rev. Frimpong-Manso made the call at the weekend when he
was addressing members of the Ejisu-Krapah Local Council of
Churches as part of his pastoral visit to Ashanti Region.
He noted that the time has come for Ghanaians to know that
before the era of colonization Ghanaians were living
harmoniously with each other.
He entreated Christian politicians to distinguish themselves
from the worldly ones by using decent language during their
campaigns.
Rt. Rev. Frimpong-Manso, who is also the Chairman of the
Christian Council of Ghana, urged politicians to present
their developmental plans and their visions for the country
to the electorate instead of attacking personalities on
their platforms.
He reminded them that if for their selfish interest they
divided the country, God would hold them accountable.
The Moderator advised the electorate not to allow
politicians to use money to influence them in their voting
"since their votes were their power."
He commended the churches at Ejisu and Krapah all in the
Ejisu Juaben District for coming together to form the Local
Council of Churches to spread the word of God.
He advised them to lead lives worthy of emulation.
The Moderator later inaugurated the Ejisu-Krapah Local
Council of Churches Executive Board, with Rev. Kusi Appiah,
Circuit Minister of Ejisu Methodist Circuit as chairman.
