You might be destined to complete cathedral project –Apostle Amoako-Attah tells Bawumia
Francis Amoako-Attah, Presiding Apostle and General Overseer of Freedom Chapel International Ministry, has suggested that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia might be prophetically destined to ensure the completion of Ghana’s National Cathedral project.
Speaking at a meeting between the clergy and the Vice President in Accra Region on Tuesday, June 4, Apostle Amoako-Attah said,the reason why the project had stalled might be because God wanted Dr Bawumia to supervise its completion.
“Your Excellency, maybe prophetically, the reason why that hole is still there is because God wants you to fulfill it,” Apostle Amoako-Attah remarked, highlighting the stalled project’s potential divine significance. He noted that Dr. Bawumia, a Muslim, completing a Christian temple could be a powerful symbol of unity.
Although the National Cathedral project has faced delays and controversy for years, Apostle Amoako-Attah urged Dr. Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, to leverage his influence to bridge the gap between the church and the government, suggesting that the project could even be handed over to a private entity for efficient management.
“Give it to a private man, let them build it, let them collect the money. … It’s going to be an indictment for Christianity and for this government to leave this bigger hole as it is forever,” he stated. He also expressed optimism about Dr. Bawumia’s role in integrating the church into governance, emphasizing the need to alter the perception of politics as a “dirty” field.
In response, Vice President Dr. Bawumia called on the clergy to collaborate with the government to find a solution for completing the National Cathedral. He stressed the importance of unity and engagement between the church and the government to secure private resources for the project.
The Vice President urged the Church to take the lead in finding a way forward, including exploring private-sector funding options.
“The question on the National Cathedral is a very important one. The National Cathedral, I have contributed to it personally and I believe it is a very important thing for Ghana, but I think as it stands now, the church must come together with the government and let us sit down and talk about the way forward.’’
