A member of the Legal and Communications team of the largest opposition NDC, Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe says the former Bishop of the Obuasi diocese of the Methodist Church, Bishop Stephen Richard Bosomtwe Ayensu is an anti-NDC Clergy.
According to him the former Bishop who was denied a top police post during his service as Police Chaplain in the Ghana Police Service always blames the NDC for it.
He says for this reason, Bishop Bosomtwe Ayensu has continually chastised the NDC and exhibited open hatred for even the late Prof. Evans John Atta Mills when he was President of this country.
“He has his constitutional right to express himself. But he cannot hide behind the pulpit and spread hatred and misinformation against the person of John Mahama.
"If the Police Council in 1999 did not give you the position of Chaplain General, how do you blame the NDC for it? he rhetorically asked.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he has asked the Methodist Church Ghana to disassociate itself from the statement of Bishop Ayensu and condemn it.
"He is a man of God and he must lead and set example for others to follow," he said.
Bishop Bosomtwe Ayensu has asked former President John Dramani Mahama to forget becoming President again in this country and that he has lost touch with reality.
Speaking to Journalists at the 25th Synod of the Methodist Church held at the Mount Zion Methodist Church at Obuasi in the Ashanti Region, he described the pronouncement by the former President and his opposition party to repeal E-levy as backward and an attempt to sway voters.
“A leading opposition party says this government has been borrowing to fund projects. But it [the government] has been strategic this time to introduce this homegrown policy to build our nation. So if someone says he will repeal this law when he wins power, then such a person will not even win power to abort it.
“If the E-levy is a good policy, why will you abolish it? Such people can’t even do it because history keeps guiding us. Such comments usually end up as a political talk and deceit,” he added.

Kwakye Ofosu has confirmed that NDC will put Ofosu Ampofo's 'insulting wheels' in motion, which makes me feel sorry for this former Methodist bishop.
If we condemn people for exercising their right to free speech, then you Tamakloe would be the first to be condemned. He does not even understand law and embarrass himself in law court.
Ei, NDC and Pastors, Chiefs and Opinion Leaders. If you did well, will you not be accepted?
***barred word*** object! Are men of God prohibited from political discourse? They are human and citizens of the land just as you empty head. You can't keep their mouths shut on politics. Bishop, I applaud your stand. Go all the way and let your views be heard. No one can keep your mouth shut.
And did he say he was speaking on behalf of the Methodist Church. Nsem huunu ara kwa ara kwa.
A very rude small boy calling himself lawyer.... tweaaaaa.... lawyer my foot. Go and practice law and stop disturbing our ears. You these (P)NDC people are Ghana's problems. You guys ruled this country for close to 30 years and only enriched yourselves with no achievement for the country. Fire burn you guys. The church will NOT dissociate itself from the Bishop's statement. Go and burn the sea.
Shame on you Tamkloe. You and your party always say Nana Addo is intolerant but you are the great culprit. When the clergy especially Bishop Charles Agin Asare and co speak in your favour you clap for them and attack anyone who criticizes them. Now it didn't go your favour so you say what? They will nighter disassociate themselves nor rebuke him
Mr Tamakloe you feel bitter because the reverend minister says Mahama will not even win for him to repeal the E-levy. When Prophet Kofi Oduro lambasted President Akuffo Addo, you saw nothing wrong. Any way when is your sister Sedinam Tamakloe who has stolen billions from MASLOC is returning from the USA? Afiafitor.
What is politics? Who is not a politician? When it hits against you, you want the world to fall flat. On the other hand, when it goes in your favor you sing praises.
