The Bishop of the Cape Coast Diocese of the Methodist Church, Very Reverend Richardson Aboagye Andam, has praised the immediate past Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, for his exemplary leadership.
Rev. Andam, who doubles as the Central Regional Chairman of the Peace Council, has acknowledged that Dr. Dampare served the nation diligently and his good works will not be in vain.
A report by Accra-based Citi News suggests the commendation came at a burial service at the Ebenezer Methodist Church in Mankessim on Saturday, March 15th, which had the revered police officer in attendance.
During his sermon, Reverend Andam lauded the former IGP’s outstanding contributions to the nation, which he believes is appreciated by many.
“It’s surprising that my sermon somehow has something to do with the life of our former IGP even though I did not know of his coming today. I want to assure you, Dr. Dampare, that your works will never be in vain. Let me repeat, your good works in the Lord as witnessed by the majority of Ghanaians will never be in vain,” he remarked.
The Bishop noted that Dr. Dampare has made a lasting impact on the country, particularly the security arrangements for the 2024 election.
“What you have done for this country will live with us forever. May God bless you for your wisdom in not allowing police officers to take guns to the polling stations; it was God who spoke to you.
“You saved Ghana, God bless you. Your reward will be huge both on earth and heaven. Over time many others will appreciate you more,” he added.
