The Majority Chief Whip in parliament, Frank Annoh-Dompreh has criticised independent presidential aspirant, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen for asserting that Ghanaians should elect a Christian president during the upcoming general elections because of the nation’s Christian majority.
Speaking at the Church of Pentecost’s Easter Sunday Convention at the Dr Thomas Wyatt Assembly, Mr. Kyerematen stressed that it was a responsibility for Ghanaians to choose a Christian leader who was also Christlike adding that he was the best person to lead the country’s socioeconomic transformation.
“As a predominantly Christian nation, as Christians, it is our responsibility that we elect a Christian leader who is also a Christlike leader,” the former ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minister of Trade and Industry said.
“If God touches your heart and you vote for Alan Kyrematen, the transformative leader, then I can assure you, as our Lord Jesus did on the cross, promise that ye shall be in paradise with him; you shall also be in paradise when I come into power,” he added.
“This is backwards, terrible and ugly, to say the least. The NPP has truly ‘suffered’ in bearing and tolerating you over the years. Show me one country globally who has succeeded by using your theory. Alan is clearly not relevant in our ‘modern’ body politics! Bow in shame!” the post said.
