Aspiring
National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party, Sammy Awuku has
implored religious leaders close to President John Dramani Mahama and
his government not to join the foot soldiers of the governing National
Democratic Congress.
Sammy Awuku asked the government’s religious
associates not to dance to the tune of the government but rather make
the President aware of the true state of the economy.
Speaking on
Oman FM's political analysis programme, Sammy Awuku kicked against
praying for the cedi to rise because to him, it's not "fasting and
prayers" that would revive the cedi.
He averred that the men of
God should call a spade a spade and tell the President the truth
regarding the way and manner he’s steering the affairs of the State.
“Ghana’s
economy now is like a sick patient on a psychiatric bed. We have lost
our sense of reasoning with the kind of administration now.”
Sammy
Awuku further disagreed with the General Overseer of the Action Faith
Chapel, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams action to seek divine
intervention for the country's currency.
Leading his congregants,
Archbishop Duncan Williams spiritually "commanded" the falling cedi to
"rise". He further led his church to offer prayers for President John
Mahama, Central Bank Governor Dr. Henry Kofi Wampah and Finance Minister
Seth Tekper for divine help to salvage the cedi.
But the NPP
Aspiring Youth Organizer stressed that the "man of God and his
congregants can pray for this government" but as for him, he "will never
pray for this government” because in his view, it behoves government to
put better initiatives in place to rescue the cedi.
“The men of
God closer to the President; they’re also part of the problem…because
they should make him aware that some measures that he has put in place
are stimulating the sufferings of the nation. But they have joined the
praise singers of NDC foot soldiers and praising the government in the
midst of the hardships.” |
