“Stop the nonsense talk”-Rev. Minister tells politicians

The Head pastor of International Redemption Ministry, a South Africa-based Church   Very. Rev. Lloyd Kwasi Annan has cautioned politicians to stop the politics of insult which he described as “nonsense and foolish talks” in Ghana’s contemporary democracy and politics.

According to Very Rev. Lloyd Kwasi Annan, politicians go to church on Sundays but when they jump to the media on Mondays, they forget that there is God.

The visibly worried Minister said, “politicians talk with bias, they talk stupidly, they talk as children, forgetting that their children are listening to them.

“If you insult your political opponent to please  your party leader, at the end of the day you are shaming yourself, you are disgracing yourself, you are an embarrassment to your family  and your children are looking up to you’’ he stressed with anger.

The Rev. Minister made the disclosure to Adom News shortly after the Pan African Clergy Council and Bible Seminary had conferred a doctorate degree in ministry on the leader of House of Prayer Ministry, Bishop Dr. Samuel Yaw Adu in Kofororidua on Sunday.

He further warned politicians to stop the politics of insults which bring the country into disrepute, and concentrate on government business and how to make Ghana a better place to be.

The South African-based Minister emphasized that, if the clergy cannot be bold and tell the politicians to stop using those filthy words in the media, the country would be seen as a nation without virtue and respect.

The leader of House of Prayer Ministry Bishop Dr. Samuel Yaw Adu also cautioned politicians not to promote political and electoral violence to ensure free, fair and peaceful elections in the 2012 polls.

He noted that, the western world would always take advantage of the African countries blessed with oil, and fuel them to fight among themselves while they use the unrest and steal their oil, hence Ghana should stay focussed and united to protect her oil resourses.
