Propagandist Otabil doing NPP’s bidding – Koku Anyidoho
Deputy General Secretary of the ruling National
Democratic Congress (NDC) Koku Anyidoho has
described General Overseer of the International
Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Pastor Mensah Otabil
as a propagandist who’s doing the bidding of the
opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

According to him, Pastor Mensah Otabil who
doubles as the Chancellor of the Central
University is one of the leading persons who are
creating the impression in the minds of the public
that the Mahama-led administration has done
nothing meaningful to improve the lives of
Ghanaians.

The influential Man of God delivering a sermon on
Sunday among other things expressed concern over
the harsh economic condition currently existing in
the country.

“Ghana is hard and that is not a political
statement.

“It’s a statement of reality that people are
going through very difficult circumstances in
their private lives, in their businesses, and
people are struggling with certain necessities of
life and sometimes when you go through these tough
times, you need encouragement.

“So, I am bringing you a word in that
direction, and I trust that at the end of this
service, something in you will lift up.

“Sometimes, when you look at life in this
country, you feel as if not only is life hard, but
we want to make it impossible for us to live our
life. I was telling my wife yesterday, I said:
‘We are not nice to ourselves. Ghana is not nice
to itself, let’s treat ourselves well; just make
life better for ourselves, but it looks like there
is a deliberate effort to keep you down and
subservient and to make you never lift up your
head.

However in an interview with Kwaku Owusu Adjei on
Si Me So on Kasapa 102.5 FM Monday, Koku Anyidoho
in a reaction to Pastor Mensah Otabil’s
comments, condemned the latter for always trying
to run down the Mahama administration.

He said Pastor Otabil can also help improve the
living condition of a section of Ghanaians by
using his privileged position to help students who
school in his university.

“If he says Ghana is hard then he should give a
rebate and say that one academic year he’s not
charging school fees, then we’ll know that
he’s walking the talk; leadership by example, he
should not charge school fees for a whole year to
make life simpler for everybody. If Ghana is
tough, the students who are attending Central
University and paying exorbitant school fees are
also suffering. So he should lead and decide that
he’ll not charge school fees and then we’ll
listen to him, for now, he should give us a
break.

“Otabil is part of the people creating the
impression that nothing good is happening in
Ghana, that’s why we’re worried. He’s part
of the propaganda. If Ghana is not nice …..he
should make life better for the students who
attend his university.

“ There was a recent report that said he
(Otabil) is the most influential person in Ghana,
so what is his problem? You have money…you’re
very influential so what again? What opportunities
again does he want that he has not gotten…then
he should give free education in his university?
Don’t we have relatives attending his university
and don’t we here the stories of the exorbitant
school fees he charges in his place, so why
don’t he give them rebate.”
