The Church of Pentecost (COP) Sakumono District of the Teshie-Nungua Area, has launched its ‘Agent of Peace’ campaign.
The peace campaign is an effort to ensure peace in the upcoming general elections slated for December 7, 2020.
Speaking at the launch last Sunday, November 8, at the Sophia Cudjoe Temple, the chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye who was on a visit in the area, urged Ghanaians to seek the peace of the nation.
He said if Ghanaians sought the peace of the nation, they would live peacefully and as well prosper.
Quoting scriptures from the Bible, Apostle Nyamekye read a message God delivered through Jeremiah to the people of Israel who were held captive in Babylon.
Quoting Jeremiah 29:7, “Also seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper,”he advised the congregants to pray for the nation, and further urged them to cast their votes in the upcoming general elections.
Corruption
Apostle Nyamekye asserted that corruption destroyed nations and asked Ghanaians to desist from the practice.
According to him, incompetence and greed were the main causes of corruption in the country.
“When we hand over the nation to people who are not competent and also who are greedy, it brings about corruption. These two bring about lack of development, poverty, premature death, hopelessness, unemployment,” he said.
The launch was climaxed with a ‘peace walk’ through the streets of Sakumono Estate, with some members carrying placards displaying peace messages.
Representatives from the two biggest political parties in the country, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) also joined in the peace walk.
Deputy National Women Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mimi Duah, has openly declared her support for Mavis Hawa Koomson as the next National Women’s Organiser of the party.
In a statement endorsing Hawa Koomson’s candidature, Ms Duah outlined four key reasons why she believes the former MP and Minister of State is best placed to lead the party’s women’s wing.
According to her, Hawa Koomson is a motherly figure who rose from the grassroots and is widely noted for her forgiving nature and ability to foster unity.
“She is a true grassroots mother who easily forgives, fosters unity, provides guidance and arbitrates to ensure all aggrieved party women are brought on board to ensure a unified women’s wing,” she stated.
Ms Duah also pointed to Hawa Koomson’s vast experience, having served as a Constituency Women’s Organiser, Member of Parliament and Minister of State, noting that the experience positions her to provide effective leadership as National Women’s Organiser.
She further described Hawa Koomson as capable of making the women’s wing resourceful, through her extensive network and business contacts, to lobby for logistics, training and financial support for women organisers at all levels.
Lastly, she said the NPP as an opposition party needs fearless, bold and assertive leadership at the women’s front to inspire regional, constituency and polling station women organisers as the party reorganises towards the 2028 elections.
“We need a Women’s Organiser who has been tested, who is bold, who understands grassroots women, and who can lead us to victory in 2028. Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson is that leader,” she stressed.
