Vice President Mahama calls for elimination of religious charlatans

Vice President John Dramani Mahama, on Sunday advised religious bodies, especially the Church, to step up their strategies at eliminating religious charlatans, who were desecrating the name of God for selfish gains.

He said there were good and respectable clergy and men of God, who were doing everything possible to embed the word of God for the benefit of future generations.

The Vice President said this, notwithstanding, the conduct of the fake men of God was indicting their reputation of the good ones and there was the need to weed out the bad nuts.

Vice President Mahama gave the advice during an induction service for the new leadership of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council into office, in Accra.

The leaders were Apostle Dr Opoku Onyinah, Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, as president of the Council, Reverend Sam Korankye-Ankrah, founder and Apostle General of the Royal House Chapel International as first Vice President.

The rest are; Apostle Ebenezer Nsesa Abebrese, President of the Apostolic Church and Rev Dr Paul Yaw Frimpong Manso as National Executive Members of the Council.
