Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Gospel artist Sonnie Badu has joined the discussion about the construction of the contentious National Cathedral.
During a recent interview on Empire FM in Takoradi, he explained to the ShowBiz Today host Feeling Daddy that the reason for the controversy surrounding the cathedral may be due to the fact that it was a vow made to God by one individual.
“The reason why there are a lot of problems and confusion is that it was not a collective vow. It was an individualistic vow and that is why there is a little bit of an issue there,” he said.
“If that was the vow that the President gave to God, then he needs to honour his vow. When you read the Bible, people made vows to God and they fulfilled them. So you asking me if it is necessary, I will say that if he vowed to God he needs to honour.
But that is very personal between him and his God. So it’s more like ‘I have promised God so I need to use my own money to fulfil it’. But when it’s like ‘I have promised God so let’s all do it’, that is where the whole confusion is,” he indicated.
Sonnie used Biblical examples to support his argument, stating that individuals in ancient times made vows to God and made sure to fulfill them.
Sonnie Badu, however, noted that the idea of the National Cathedral is a good one.
“A cathedral is a good thing. Just as there are a lot of mosques that Muslims put together for people to go there to worship, a National Cathedral, something for the nation is not a bad idea,” he added.
