Francis Amoako-Attah, the General Overseer of Freedom Chapel International Ministry and Presiding Apostle has encouraged Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President, to see that the contentious National Cathedral project is completed.
The man of God said that Dr. Bawumia might be meant to complete this project, which has been deeply controversial and has been on hold for years.
Apostle advice Bawumia on National Cathedral Project
“Your Excellency, maybe prophetically, the reason why that hole is still there is because God wants you to fulfill it,” Apostle Amoako-Attah stated during a meeting between the clergy and the Vice President on Tuesday, June 4, as part of his visit of the Greater Accra Region.
“It's going to be so prophetic that once upon a time, a temple was built and the president who dedicated a temple for the Christians was a Muslim.”
The Freedom Chapel International Ministry Apostle urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer to do “everything within your power, together with the team, to bring the church and the government together,” and if possible, hand the project over to a private entity for management.
“Give it to a private man, let them build it, let them collect the money. … It’s going to be an indictment for Christianity and for this government to leave this bigger hole as it is forever.”
Apostle Amoako-Attah also said, “I'm so happy now that we have found somebody who is bringing the church into governance.”
He added that as long as Ghanaians continue to view politics as dirty, it will remain so until they change that perception.
The Vice President in response called on the clergy to collaborate with the government to find a way forward in completing the project.
He stressed the need for the church to unite and engage with the government to explore ways to secure private resources to complete the project.
“The question on the National Cathedral is a very important question. I have contributed to its construction personally. I believe it is a very important thing for Ghana.”
“The church has to come together and meet the government so that we talk about the way forward. The church must come together and let the government know the best way forward on how we can get private resources to help us complete the National Cathedral,” he said on Monday.
Dr Bawumia expressed optimism that a collective effort can find a solution, saying “if we all come together, we will figure it out.”
“I think if we all come together we will figure it out because we cannot leave it where it is,” he added.
