The Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG), has denied media reports that its former moderator Rt. Rev. Prof Obiri Yeboah Mante has said the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is a unifying character for Islam and Christianity in Ghana.
According to the Church, the former Moderator never made such an utterance.
It has thus urged the public to disregard such reports as untrue.
“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,” excerpts of the release said.
The Church has thus advised Ghanaians to refrain from involving it in partisan politics.
“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.
