Apostle Francis Amoako Attah, founder and leader of Parliament Chapel International (PCI), has called on political leaders in Ghana to learn from recent events in America by shifting their campaign focus to issues and ideas.
Speaking on Angel FM’s “Revelations” with Okatakyie Kwame Afrifa, Apostle Attah emphasized the need for a more positive and substantive approach to campaigning in the months leading up to the elections.
“We must move away from hate speech and focus on ideas and substance,” Apostle Attah stated.
“We are all Ghanaians, and we must ensure that the divisiveness seen elsewhere does not occur here.”
He highlighted the importance of recognizing the times and seasons in which they live, invoking a biblical reference to emphasize the urgency of the matter.
He drew parallels with historical religious figures to illustrate the challenges and responsibilities of leadership and public influence.
Apostle Attah warned against the dangers of negative campaigning, citing the example of a 20-year-old who plotted against a U.S. presidential candidate influenced by hostile rhetoric.
“If you label your opponent as the most dangerous, it implants dangerous ideas in the minds of the youth, leading them to extreme actions,” he cautioned.
Referencing I Corinthians 10:6, he urged Ghanaians to learn from America’s experiences to prevent similar outcomes.
“After December 7, we will still have Ghana. Our democracy should not descend into monecracy or insultcracy,” he added.
Apostle Attah commended the leading political figures—John Mahama, Alan Kyerematen, and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia—for their peaceful and sober approach, urging their followers to emulate this behavior.
He concluded by emphasizing the need for innovative ideas to drive the nation forward.
