“As I have said before, the National Cathedral will not just be another monument adorning the skyline of Accra, it will be a rallying point for the entire Christian community to come together and worship… I am therefore committed to working with the Board of Trustees to ensure the completion of this project to the glory of God.”

The National Cathedral project has seen a lot of controversies, as many Ghanaians continue to question the prudence of the state financing an edifice that is said to be President Akufo-Addo’s personal pledge to God.

But President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been unwavering in his resolve to build the National Cathedral in Ghana.

In the 2023 budget, GH¢80 million was allocated to fund the project despite the current economic crisis.

However, Parliament voted against the approval of budget estimates of GH¢80 million for the construction of the National Cathedral for 2023.

Meanwhile, the National Cathedral Secretariat has made a passionate appeal to churches and the Christian community to help complete the National Cathedral project.

The Secretariat said with a contribution of GH₵100 monthly from one million Christians, the project could be completed before the year 2024.

Speaking after President Akufo-Addo paid a working visit to the construction site, Executive Director of the National Cathedral Secretariat, Dr Paul Opoku Mensah said the church must encourage its members to contribute.

“If the Church Leaders stand with us on this project, we can easily raise One million people who will give us GH¢100 each. So essentially, we need the Church to stand with us. The state has done enough, all the preparatory works have been done, and the scope of work has been done. Without the state, it was impossible.”

“We need the Church in Ghana to stand with us, this is a monument to the Church, this is a monument to God and a symbol of the Christian presence in Ghana.”

The $450 million National Cathedral project was envisioned by the government in March 2017 as a physical embodiment of national unity, harmony, and spirituality.

The inter-denominational cathedral is expected to have an auditorium capable of seating 5,000 people, as well as chapels, and a baptistery.

“They forget that God is not their village chief,” he said after he convincingly won his primaries this week.
wasn’t part of the strategy to get me out. Avedzi wasn’t contesting again, and Haruna didn’t haveany contenders, and I was the only one who had a contender, so to have done that at that time”It was part of the strategy to get me out,” he said.
“But like I keep saying, God is not their village chief; God doesn’t hate people because you
hate them.” He added.

Arrogance Akufo-Addo’s And Incompetence Ken Ofori-Atta Have Led Us Here – Mahama On Sophia Akuffo’s DDEP Outburst

Former President John Dramani Mahama claims that President Akufo Addo’s “arrogance” and his Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta’s “incompetence” are to blame for the nation’s current economic hardships.

He said in a Facebook post on Friday that the current difficulties might not have arisen if the government had responded positively to prior requests for a public dialogue.

According to Mahama, when the economy started deteriorating, he was part of those who stressed the need for consensus to help salvage the situation.

This he said, however, fell on deaf ears, leading to the ongoing widespread public agitations and the gloomy outlook of the economy.

“When I noticed we were running into an economic ditch, I made several calls for a genuine dialogue and national consensus on an economic programme.

“The arrogance and intransigence of a President, and incompetence of a Finance Minister and the Economic Management Team have led us here.

“We could have forged a broad non-partisan consensus on the IMF bailout and accompanying debt restructuring programme”, Mahama wrote.

“Alas, it seems too late now!”, the former President added.

Speaking to the media, she claimed that despite receiving generous retirement benefits as a result of her position, she still sided with her less fortunate classmates.
