From Ghana-
THE PERCEIVED animosity between supporters of the former Presidential Candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo and his closest rival, Mr. Kwadwo Alan Kyerematen, appears not to be a bother to only party functionaries, but also the clergy.
The Anglican Bishop of Kumasi, Most Rev. Daniel Yinkah Sarfo has expressed concern about the fissure between supporters of the two prominent personalities and its likely repercussion on the nation's political and democratic dispensation during a thanksgiving service organized at the St. Paul's Anglican Church in Kumasi for the newly elected Regional Executives of the party.
The service, which was mainly to thank God Almighty for seeing the party through its regional congress held few weeks ago, was also to commit the new executives, led by the chairman, Mr. Frederick Fredua Anto into the hands of God as they lead the party for the next four years.
The outspoken Anglican clergy says he is personally worried about the seeming political intolerance and fanaticism creeping into the opposition party and cautioned that if nothing was done to immediately quell the situation, it would have negative effect on both the NPP and the country.
“What worries me more is that; Nana Addo and Alan and the regional chairman, Mr. F. F. Anto are all Anglicans, so why should you fight each other, you are only engaging in self destruction and this will not augur well for your supporters and the party, “ he stressed.
