Persecution Of The Church Will Be One Of Your Achievements – APCC Tells Nana Addo

Published

on


The Association of Pentecostal and Charismatic Clergy (APCC) have accused Nana Akuffo-Addo and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) of instigating a sustained attack against Christians.

The APCC claimed in a press statement dated, August 4, that “for almost 4 years, the church had faced stiff opposition from this government.”

In the statement signed by the association’s general secretary, Rev. John Armah, the clerics states that the Akufo-Addo led administration has targeted “almost every influential Man of God in this Nation” immediately after coming into office.

A portion of their statement read, “Strange and unimaginable inquisitions of Reverend Ministers and Bishops were vigorously pursued. That was the initial attempt to seek to get ‘dirt’ of them and eventually use it as a point to blackmail them if they should dare speak up at any point.”

“Fast forward, the current state of affairs points to an unwritten decree and rule in Ghana that no one, be you a professional in your field of endeavor or a Pastor, big or small, must say anything that disagrees with the government or the current ruling political class.

“This muzzling of free speech and opinion and a subtle attempt at censoring the Clergy must be resisted with righteous indignation,” the clerics asserted.
