The Presbyterian Church of Ghana has declared as untrue claims that the outgoing Moderator of the church, Rt Rev. Prof. Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante, has described the Vice-President, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, as a “religious unifier”.
According to the Church, the former Moderator never made such statement hence urged the ignore such reports.
“The PCG by this statement is making it clear that the Moderator did not make such a statement and has not made any statement of that nature anywhere as the article on social media and other newspapers and portals are seeking to portray.”
“The Moderator in his five minutes and fifty-eight seconds speech, thanked the Vice President for his support to the Church, and also stated that the government had made pledges to donate buses to some institutions of the church. He, therefore, appealed to the Vice President to ensure that government redeems those pledges,” the release read in part.
“Earlier on, the Moderator through a communique had told the government that although they are working very hard, Ghanaians are still suffering and so they ought to do something about it. These are the things that the Moderator said. Please kindly take the Moderator out of this unfruitful partisan politics.”
“The Moderator has no problem to describe the Vice President as religiously tolerant and a unifier, but the records must be set straight that on Sunday he did not make that statement,” the statement concluded.
