The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Most Rev. Prof. Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante, has called out the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for practising ‘dirty politics,’
According to him, the party is only interested in shaming the ruling government to enable them to win power and does not have the best interest of the nation at hand.
Most Rev. Mante made his position known during a speech delivered at an event to climax the Centenary celebration of the Asante presbytery in Kumasi over the weekend.
According to him, he is aware Ghana is facing severe economic challenges but that is not isolated as the entire world is suffering from a global economic collapse.
“Ghana has become very difficult. But I also know that the whole world has become very difficult. I know that things have become very difficult and in Ghana, many people are not educated to know that there is a serious world crisis.” he said.
He added that this has created a situation that the NDC is trying to exploit using dirty politics and Mantey called on Ghanaians to shun such parties.
“If you say it, many don’t believe because everything is politicized, so the opposition is interested in doing what will shame the ruling government so that he can be voted for. That kind of politics must be shunned, it is not nice. It doesn’t convince those of us who are educated,” he stressed.
The Presby moderator also attempted to clean up the President’s ‘sika mp3 dede’ gaffe.
“There is a medium to raise concerns about issues not to dirty each other in the media. The more we say negative things about our country, the more prices will shoot up. Because there is no investor who will seriously take you seriously. It is this that someone wanted to say when he said sika mpɛ dede,” he said.
