Akufo-Addo condemns actions of machete-brandishing NDC members

President Akufo-Addo has condemned the actions of some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who were seen in a viral video brandishing machetes around the office building of the NDC, presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, after a purported cleanup exercise on Thursday, 23 November 2023.

Addressing the Victory Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana at Adentan Fafraha, in Accra, during the valedictory church service for the outgoing Moderator of the Presbyterian Church, Rt. Reverend Professor Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante, President Akufo-Addo said the actions of the NDC faithful will have no place before, during, or after the December 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.

President Akufo-Addo in his address, assured the congregation and by extension, all Ghanaians that his administration is working extremely hard in order to restore economic growth and stability as was the case before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in March 2020 and exacerbated by the geopolitical war birthed by the Russian invasion of her neighbor, Ukraine.

President Akufo-Addo also commended the outgoing Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rt Rev. Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante for his meritorious service to the church, God, and to country. He wished him a fruitful retired and also wished the incoming moderator, Rev Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, a successful tenure at the helm of affairs at the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.

Rev. Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante, also known as J.O.Y. Mante, is a Ghanaian theologian and Presbyterian minister who served as the 18th Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, equivalent to the chief executive officer or managing director of the national church organisation.

In his valedictory sermon, Rev J.O.Y. Mante, called on Ghanaians to love each other, love their country Ghana and to pray for her prosperity instead of running the nation down with their words. He also called for global peace particularly, in Gaza, Israel, Russia and in Ukraine.
