CHRISTIAN COUNCIL, CSOS ARE SILENT OVER DUMSOR UNDER AKUFO ADDO, BUT WAITING TO BLAME MAHAMA AFTER HE IS SWORN IN — APlus Fumes

Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, the Member of Parliament-elect for Gomoa Central, has condemned the Christian Council and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) for their apparent silence regarding the difficulties Ghana is experiencing under the departing government.

He believes that these institutions, previously outspoken in their opposition to earlier governments, have remained silent during President Nana Akufo-Addo’s time in office, even with the many problems impacting the populace.

A Plus claimed that these organizations only speak out selectively when the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its leader, John Dramani Mahama, are in control.

He claimed that despite the persistent power cuts in the nation, the Christian Council and CSOs have opted to stay quiet, appearing to await their opportunity to blame Mahama once he assumes office.

In a Facebook update on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, A Plus remarked:

He said;

“All these individuals, groups, and organizations are fully aware that the country is experiencing dumsor due to the incompetence of the overhyped Akufo Addo’s administration.

Yet, they remain silent, seemingly waiting for John Mahama to assume office so they can quickly mobilize to declare that he has brought dumsor back.”

A Plus voiced disappointment, calling on the Christian Council and other organizations to align with their claimed moral authority by tackling the nation’s issues and ensuring leaders are held responsible.

“To the Christian Council: Speak now or forever hold your peace! Be like Christ, who was unbiased and fearless. He looked the Pharisees in the eye and told them the truth. Do not reserve your voices for only when the NDC is in power.

Speak up now and tell the nation the truth—that Ghana is currently experiencing dumsor. That the economy is bad. Do not wait for John Mahama to be sworn in before you start speaking out, like Balaam’s donkey in the Bible. You are human beings, not donkeys—act like it!”

The entertainer-turned-politician condemned the apparent hypocrisy and encouraged these organizations to uphold consistency in their advocacy, no matter which political party holds power.
