Tamale, Ghana – Ghanaians must be honest and sincere with themselves and check the direction the nation is going otherwise “we might run ourselves into trouble”, Chairman of International Presbytery at Fountain Gate Chapel International, Rev. Clement Anchebah, has cautioned.
Democracy, he said, was accepted and practiced in many parts of the world as a better form of governance but in Ghana “we’re turning the democracy into something else and I think that we need to come back to ourselves and do things right….”.
In an exclusive interview with Savannah News on the sidelines of “Revival 2019” held at the Tamale campus of the University for Development Studies, Rev. Anchebah said “Ghanaians need to agree, we need to come to the place that it is not about a party and its affiliates. It is about Ghana and Ghanaians. I may not belong to party A or party B or if I belong to party A, I don’t belong to party B. But as long as we vote and party B comes on, party B must know that I am not just there for only party B people but for everybody.
“But some of the things that are happening….not just in this era. And I’m not dealing with just this era but the past ones and even subsequent ones. The way we’re running it, whether it is NPP, NDC or CPP, we have to be very careful that we don’t break our nation into pieces. We should hold the nation together and be there for everybody”, he cautioned.
Rev. Anchebah also indicated that, God knew who would win election 2020 and cautioned the youth against vigilantism and other forms of violence. “There is no need to fight….there’s no to insult someone or put vigilantis on the streets in order to win an election. You may destroy people and still, if you’ll lose, you’ll lose”.
Revival 2019 is an annual event of member churches of Fountain Gate Chapel International in the Northern Region. It is an open event to all especially Christians in the Tamale Metropolis and its adjoining districts to come together to have fellowship, pray for peace and prosperity of Northern Ghana as well as the unity of the body of Christ.
Ministering alongside Rev. Anchebah at this event is the founder of Fountain Gate Chapel International, Rev. Joseph Eastwood Anaba. The event which started on Wednesday is expected to end on Friday.
