Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has urged the church to ask politicians to focus on finding solutions to the country’s problems and not to indulge in politics of insults and propaganda.

He said politicians must let politics shine a light on what they do and not try to cover things up in darkness.

“When you see a politician trying to talk, demand data to support what they are saying so let us focus on light, let us focus on data, let us eschew insults and propaganda and let us focus on solving problems that face this country on an everyday basis”

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia said this on Wednesday at the opening of the 46th Session of the General Council Meeting of the Church of Pentecost at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa-Fetteh, in the Central Region.

Dr Bawumia endorsed an impending meeting between the Church of Pentecost and politicians, which he said, had been slated for June 14 to 16, 2023.

He commenced the church for the bold initiative and expressed the hope that the conference would impact positively on politics for national development.

Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, delivered his “State of the Church” report during his five-year stewardship. He paid glowing tribute to leadership, some of whom would retire whilst others were still active service, for their meritorious contributions to the church.

The youth and children’s ministries, women’s ministry, education and health programmes of the church also chalked some successes.

He, however, expressed disappointment that despite the successes chalked so far, the nationwide outbreak of cocoa disease and rehabilitation programmes continued to affect the socio-economic life of members within the cocoa-growing areas.

He urged the area heads and district ministers to devise measures to tackle the challenges hindering the growth of the church in their respective jurisdictions.
