The Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church Ghana, Most Rev. Dr. Paul Kwabena Boafo, has urged the running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, to use her good office as a change agent in Ghana’s politics.
Most Rev. Dr. Kwabena Boafo explained that Prof. Opoku-Agyemang as a Christian should play an exemplary leadership role that will bring the needed change the country desires.
He was speaking at a Thanksgiving Service for the NDC’s running mate in Accra on Tuesday.
Most Rev. Dr. Paul Kwabena Boafo noted, “You are coming in at a time when our politics is bedevilled with all kinds of negative things. As a Christian for which we believe that Christians should get into politics, you stand for integrity. You stand for the truth, you will stand against all the politics of insults and the politics of violence”.
He added, “Someone has said violence means that you have come to the end of your creative activity. Don’t go that way. Call for peace, ask for peace because it is God in whose presence you sit and the God you are acknowledging says He is peace and his peace he gives to his people.”
