“Before God and man, I voted for President Akufo-Addo. I’m not shy. I voted for him, but I have regretted doing that because, if you ask my mother, I fought them at home because she’s a strong NDC. And I was tired of the corruption of president Mahama because I sew some with my own eye in Dubai and I came back very angry from a meeting and I didn’t want to hear anything NDC. I fought them at home. Ask my mother; she is here.
“I fought them. I said the new era that is coming is the era of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. He also came and has disappointed me. I’m sure my father will be paining in his grave because he was a strong NDC,” he said.
The pastor went on to say that he had previously worked closely with former president John Agyekum Kufuor and been involved in politics at a high level, but was now exhausted by the state of affairs.

“We are tired. If you are not tired, me I am tired. Sometimes some people feel that as pastors, they don’t have to put themselves into politics and all that. I was on President Kufuor’s educational committee; | served on his committee. The committee that brought the four-year term, was the student representative on that committee. I’ve served for him. I was writing speeches for President Mills, so you re no more political than me. But look at the nonsense going on,” he added.
