Outgoing Peace Council Chair, Most Rev Professor Emmanuel Asante has cautioned political activists to promote peace in the lead-up to December elections.
He said, “All your manifestoes and promises will come to not in the absence of peace”.
He was speaking on the topic, “Security ahead of December elections, the role of the church” on Joy FM’s Christian infotainment program, “A Walk with Jesus” on Sunday.
Most Rev Asante added, “I think the Church must seriously pray about what is happening in the country while we teach people and ask them to be careful, not to do anything that will promote violence.”
His comments follow among other things, the recent killing of a senior NIA officer who was shot dead after gunmen attacked a National Peace Council delegation at a district in the Northern Region.
The Outgoing Peace Council Chair wants Ghanaians to grow the culture of peace.
