Presidential Press corps abandoned Ghana@60 anniversary church service attended by the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo after the Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, Archbishop Gabriel Palmer Buckle sent them packing out of the holy spirit cathedral for setting up their cameras next to his own camera.
The Archbishop told the presidential press corps that the cathedral was his and he calls the shots and that he determines the position his camera should be positioned.
EIB’s Wilberforce Asare reported that the disappointed press team respectfully packed out of the church before the service started.

For the avoidance of doubt Nana Addo himself is a proud Catholic and he understands the sacredness of the catholic sanctuary. Pls stop vilifying the Archbishop. His actions and intentions were mis-reported.
I have always recommended respect for our presidents - whoever the person may be....I have equally and constantly taught my Bible Students that the church premises is theirs and they must not compromise on anything that goes against our principles. The Bishop has made me proud as a christian leader. a little compromise and anybody could come to the church to do anything. God bless you bishop for straightening the rod.
the White man will Tell you that there is nothing like a free launch! and yet kufuor in his wisdom went in for just $500 million dollars, which was just papers printed as dollars. the white man says (when you meet a full take all you can) and they're taking all they can because we are acting fullish.
the sale of ECG is a sylly move. kwame Nkrumah would never sell ECG. if we sell ECG nobody can afford electricity in this country. they just want to buy ECG so that they can stop us from being industrious
Tony the Bull's comments emanate from ignorance of i) what was being celebrated and 2) what is expected of invited guests ( even if they are atheists) during a church service.Unfortunately some of the journalists in their quest to get the best picture angles failed to differentiate the church environment from that of say a football park or political rally.
BY DE WAY HU IS NANA ADDO MTWEEEEEEEEE
@ TONY THE BULL, I do not know what to tell you. What i will tell you is your last name,
My friend what is wrong if you tell your visitor that this is your house and therefore you call the shot. How many of you will allow visitors in your house to do whatever suits them. People are afraid of the truth. Is it because nana Addo was in that church that you expected the bishop to tone down. Were you not in the country when professor Martey claimed president mahama was unwise. That was an insult to a president, this time the bishop just told the press Corp he has his camera already positioned and therefore he wouldn't allow visitors to move them, what is wrong about this. Who is nana Addo anyway?
Yes it was necessary the Archbishop call the journalists to order for stepping on the pews of the Cathedral. Probably they didn't know those pews are sacred and needed somebody to take action. It was a program that was organized by the catholic church to mark the 40 years of diplomatic relationship of Ghana and the vatican and to thank God for a historical significance that took place 60 years ago when Dr Kwame Nkrumah in that same cathedral prayed for our country Ghana. the president was only invited by the Ghana catholic Bishops conference to grace the Occassion and to celebrate what took place 60 years ago on the 3rd of March 1957.
It's a lie there is no way the archbishop will use the words attributed to him ...that the cathedral was his and he calls the shot , am disappointed in the one who posted this news article here. The fact is that Catholics consider their alter as holy place for God and so it's not even any catholic that can climb the alter. This is a fact that you guys can check so why skew this lies about the archbishop am sad for Ghana journalists.
