The Director of Operations for the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Nana Owusu Ofori, has accused Nana Akufo Addo of being dishonest and has raised doubts about whether Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Willians and Rev. Eastwood Anaba were misled by him regarding the National Cathedral.
He further questioned whether the president sought divine guidance before putting together the Board of Trustees responsible for overseeing the construction of the National cathedral. The Director expressed disappointment that these respected men of God, along with others who resigned from the board, allowed President Akufo-Addo to manipulate them for his own benefit.
He argued that, as esteemed religious leaders, they should have resigned earlier due to the project’s lack of transparency, accountability, and honesty.
The Director also alleged that the president had not been forthcoming about the project and had contradicted himself by using state resources for its construction despite promising not to do so.
”These are respected men of God, and I have not reached their age, so you must be measured when speaking about them,” Divine Nkrumah said. However, we’re talking about politics here, and they’ve gotten involved. When embarking on a journey, both as a man of God and as ordinary people, we seek God’s approval. I beg to ask again: Did these men of God seek his approval? Because, from an ordinary man’s perspective, when I examine what is going on, I would not have joined the board of trustees because the cathedral’s construction is unrelated to the Bible and there is nothing spiritual about serving on the cathedral board.”
The young politician linked his argument to Proverbs 16:12–13, which describes constant liars and evil-doers.
The president falls into the category of a constant liar, and the men of God should not have allowed themselves to be used by him for his political agenda, he added.
”How do worthless and wicked people look like? That is what the Bible is asking. I am not the one asking these questions. It goes on to say that they are constant liars. So, as men of God and Bible believers, you couldn’t see that Nana Addo is a serial liar? He kept lying about the national cathedral, and our men of God couldn’t read between the lines,” he said, as quoted by Radio Rainbow.
