Yaw Owusu-Ansah, a prominent pastor and head of religious broadcast at the Multimedia Group, has been removed from a WhatsApp group of pastors after exposing a colleague pastor\u2019s evil plot against Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, the colleague pastor believed to be an Archbishop of one of the known churches in Ghana, had circulated a flyer calling on his colleagues to preach against Bawumia\u2019s candidature because of his Muslim faith.<br \/>Rev. Owusu-Ansah, who was part of the WhatsApp group, strongly criticized the Bishop\u2019s actions, calling them \u201cvile propaganda\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy began when the Archbishop allegedly told his colleagues to do everything in their power to prevent Bawumia from becoming President.<\/p>\n<p>Rev. Owusu-Ansah took issue with this statement, arguing that it was unacceptable for a man of God to promote such divisive and discriminatory rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>Rev. Owusu-Ansah\u2019s criticism of the Archbishop did not go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>He took to his Adom Ahengua Morning devotion on Adom FM to openly chastise the priest, further escalating the controversy.<\/p>\n<p>The Archbishop, unhappy with Rev. Owusu-Ansah\u2019s criticism, demanded his removal from the WhatsApp group, which was subsequently carried out by the group\u2019s administrator.<\/p>\n<p>This incident raises important questions about the role of religion in politics and the responsibility of religious leaders to promote unity and inclusivity.<\/p>\n<p>While some may argue that the Archbishop\u2019s actions were justified, others see them as a clear example of religious intolerance and discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>In a country where religion plays a significant role in shaping public opinion, incidents like this can have far-reaching consequences.<\/p>\n<p>However, as Ghana prepares to go to the polls on December 7, the need for religious leaders to promote peace, unity, and inclusivity has never been more pressing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BY Daniel Bampoe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 In a shocking turn of events, Rev.
