There was controversy at the National Peace Council’s collaborative dialogue with prophets in the Greater Accra Region.
The meeting on Tuesday took a dramatic turn when the founder of the True Word Prophetic Fire Ministries, Prophet Nigel Gaisie, took the stage.
He pointed out that, the Council appeared to be active only during elections, citing some prominent cases in which he felt the Council had been silent.
These included the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence and the Techiman election killings, among others.
“I live close to Ayawaso West Wuogon. We saw the happenings of Ayawaso West Wuogon. Still I don’t know when Peace Council is going to speak on it or release and communiqué to that effect,” he said.
“We were in this country when our brothers and sisters in Techiman were killed. Till today, no word from Peace Council of the Republic of Ghana. Just last month or so… the Ghana Statistical Service brought a data or a survey suggested that the regular Ghanaian cannot afford three square meals, but we have an Agricultural Minister paid by the regular Ghanaian’s tax.
He urged the Council to be proactive in addressing all issues, rather than what he described as selective action, stressing that peace cannot be built in a vacuum.
“We should appreciate that peace is not found in a vacuum. There are certain conditions, there are certain tenets that must prevail before peace, as it were, can be established.”
However, the Chairman of the National Peace Council, Rev. Dr. Ernest Adu Gyamfi, responded to his accusations.
Meanwhile, the Founder and Presiding Archbishop of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, offered advice to both prophets and politicians ahead of the upcoming polls.
