General Assembly Moderator of the EP Church of Ghana, Rt. Rev. Dr. Lieutenant Colonel (Rtd) Divine Agbeko
The Rt. The Rev. Dr. Lieutenant Colonel (Rtd) Bliss Divine Agbeko, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, has appealed to Ghanaians to accept the Supreme Court verdict and join the government to advance the country.
“We have only one Ghana, which needs our collective efforts and our unity to develop,” he said.
Rt. The Rev. Dr. Lieutenant Colonel Agbeko appealed in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Ho that, as a people, Ghanaians may have their differences, but they must not forget that “we are a people with a common destiny.”
He said, “There may be some flaws here and there, but we must not allow it to degenerate into chaos.”
The moderator said that the legal truth was different from the logical truth and advised Ghanaians to accept the verdict for the sake of peace.
“We have more time ahead of us, so we don’t need to plunge the country into a war,” he said.
The Moderator called on the Electoral Commission to correct and guarantee transparency in the next elections to gain the trust of the people.
On March 4 of this year, the Supreme Court unanimously dismissed an electoral petition filed by former President John Mahama.
He had requested a statement that the result of the 2020 presidential elections announced by the President of the Electoral Commission violated Article 63 (3) of the 1992 Constitution.
He called the polls fraudulent and called for their annulment by the Supreme Court.
EC President and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo were the first and second respondents.
