POLITICIANS WHO INCITE VIOLENCE MUST BE REPRIMANDED BY THE PEACE COUNCIL, SAYS THE APOSTLE OF PENTEC

In advance of the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, Apostle Mike Kwame Etrue, the Koforidua Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has asked the National Peace Council to quickly summon politicians who encourage violence to order.


He said that maintaining the nation's peace should not be sacrificed for individual gain.



God is the one who chooses leaders. God makes the decisions, not you, if He does not want you to be President. For Ghana to maintain its current state of peace, it needs to be patient and kind. We don't want the system to encounter any issues or disruptions. For us to enjoy our peace, the Peace Council should summon such individuals (anyone who incites violence) and counsel them.


Apostle Mike Etrue's remark follows a threat made by Bryan Acheampong, Minister of Food and Agriculture and Member of Parliament for Abetifi, that the dominant New Patriotic Party (NPP) will never cede power to the main opposition NDC.


The NPP will show the opposition party that "we have the men they dare attempt to use threats, violence, and indulge in stupidity in the 2024 general election," said Mr Acheampong.


The NDC stated that it will oppose any attempt made to undermine the decision of the Ghanaian people in a statement issued by the party's general secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey.


Politicians need to exercise caution, according to Apostle Etrue, a member of the Church of Pentecost's Executive Council. Politicians must be careful with their words since everyone is free to do what they like.


Politicians, according to him, should concentrate on outlining to the voters the practical policies and programs that would advance the nation's growth and raise the standard of living for its citizens.


"Electorates will examine your visions and policies while casting their ballots." But the problem is that the electorates in Africa are making so much noise that we are unable to even communicate our plans to them. Even if some of the manifestos are completely bloated with unattainable goals, we don't criticize them. We want the European Union to hold elections and all other gatherings peacefully. When you go to order European nations, whatever you say, you make sure you do it.


This was declared by Apostle Mike Etrue after the Koforidua Area of the Church of Pentecost's 2023 Easter Conference, which had as its subject "That I may know Him and the Power of His Resurrection."


He exhorted the congregation to embody Jesus' power to rise from the dead to perform miracles and act as agents of transformation.


A few chiefs, queen mothers, and Michael Okyere Baafi, the Member of Parliament for New Juaben South, attended the ceremony.


The Member of Parliament thanked The Church of Pentecost for its tireless efforts to further Ghana's development and spiritual development in a brief address.


He asked for ongoing prayers and encouragement for President Akufo-Addo as he diligently pursues economic recovery.
