Pentecost Chairman Blasts Politicians for Expensive Democracy, Leaving Leaders Speechless

Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, delivered a stern message to Ghana’s political elite, including Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, during a recent engagement that left many contemplating the future.

In a viral video of the event, Apostle Nyamekye emphasized the importance of selflessness, urging Ghanaians to prioritize serving humanity. However, he didn’t mince words when he turned his attention to the politicians, criticizing them for reducing democracy to a game of money and warning that this trend could lead to criminals taking the reins of power.

Expressing deep concern for the trajectory of the nation, he called out the monetization of democracy as perilous and expressed his apprehension about what the future holds if such practices persist.

He also condemned the practice of politicians deceiving citizens with trivial gifts like cutlasses and lanterns in exchange for votes, instead of implementing meaningful measures to improve the lives of the populace.

The reactions among attendees were varied, with some applauding the chairman’s bold stance while others appeared shocked or contemplative. As Vice President Bawumia and Speaker Bagbin observed quietly, the weight of Apostle Nyamekye’s words underscored the urgent need for reflection and reform in Ghana’s political landscape.
