Be mindful of your language if you want votes from Ghanaians – Apostle Boateng to Bawumia.
Founder and leader of the Cornerstone Bible Church International in Kumasi, His Eminence Apostle Godbless Boateng has cautioned the Vice President who also doubles as the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (Npp) to be mindful of his language when he mounts platform to solicit for votes.
The clergy indicated that comments relating to the Dec 7 elections need to be tackled with circumspect in order not to offend individuals or organizations in the country.
Apostle Godbless Boateng was reacting to Bawumia’s recent statement which he underscored that when power is transferred to him, he would pay pastors and in turn prevail on the churches to pay tax.
The Vice President Dr Bawumia has since retracted the story by saying that he was joking with the pastors.
But according to Apostle Boateng, a position of a Vice President of a Republic and full flag bearer of a leading political party must be seen as an all important rank Dr Bawumia should not take it for granted.
How can such a matured politician and affable intellectual who is struggling to become a president should make a wild statement at the public domain and later exercise U-turn to tell Ghanaians that l was joking.
My simple understanding to Bawumia’s statement is that all his campaign messages and promises to Ghanaians are joke, and if not he should start to learn how to speak at the public level based on his envious position , the clergy pointed out.
Readers can further recalled that Akuffo Addo also recently made a dangerous political and electoral statement that he will not hand over power to the former President Mahama to destroy his legacy, a statement Akuffo Addo has spilled the bean on the various social media platforms.
Among those who strongly criticized Addo’s infamous statement include a member of the erstwhile Provisional National Defence Council,(PNDC) who has since cautioned the president to be circumspect in his public utterances to avoid unexpected violence in the society.
