Speaking during his morning show, Captain Smart expressed disappointment in what he described as Pastor Otabil\u2019s silence on the pressing economic hardships facing the nation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Captain Smart pointed out that during John Mahama\u2019s presidency in 2013, Pastor Otabil frequently spoke out against the government. He recalled that the pastor criticized the administration&#8217;s handling of the economy and even held several press conferences when the exchange rate of the dollar to the cedi hovered around 3 cedis. However, according to Captain Smart, Pastor Otabil has been conspicuously quiet during the tenure of the current administration, despite the exchange rate now standing at 16.5 cedis, accompanied by worsened economic conditions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4642555d316c45df8ce03485e1301aa2\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The outspoken journalist went further to accuse Pastor Otabil of hypocrisy, suggesting that his silence might be politically motivated. He argued that leaders who once vocally condemned previous administrations have a moral obligation to hold the current government accountable with the same fervor, especially given the dire state of the economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Captain Smart warned that if Pastor Otabil does not break his silence and speak truth to power, he will expose him publicly in the coming days. His remarks have added fuel to ongoing public debates about the role of religious leaders in holding governments accountable and addressing societal challenges.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);\">Click\u00a0<\/span>here<span style=\"color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);\">\u00a0to watch the video<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enough Is Enough: Send This Message To Pastor Mensah Otabil Immediately- Captain Smart Serves Notice News Hub Creator2d The host of Onua Maakye on Onua TV, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, widely known as Captain Smart, has directed sharp criticism at Pastor Mensa Otabil, founder and leader of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC).
