A priest has appealed to the the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) to step back from antagonistic posturing and polarization of the society.
The Reverend Ekow Essel Mcforson, Minister of the Freeman Methodist Church at Mbrom, Kumasi, said the intolerance, political blame game and insults that had characterized their relationship since the start of the Fourth Republic were simply not good for the growth of democracy.
He said they needed to find common ground and work together through bi-partisan approach to bring development to the people and must do more to promote peace, unity and harmony among Ghanaians.
Speaking at the inauguration and induction service for the Freeman Methodist Church Men�s Fellowship, the Rev Mcforson said it was important for politicians to accept their mistakes, failures and shortcomings.
He said excuses and ugly noises about who did or did not do what must stop. Mr. George Omane, National Chairman of the Association of Methodist Men�s Fellowships, said they were determined to work with other organizations within the church to grow the ministry.
He reminded the members to remain firm in their faith and commitment to give hope and comfort to the poor and the suffering.
Mr. Edward Nketia-Asante, Kumasi Diocesan Chairman of the Fellowship, said all was set for construction works to begin on the fellowship�s flagship 100-bed capacity hostel at the Kwadaso Methodist Retreat Centre.
The project is estimated to cost about GH�1.4 million.
