The Head Pastor of Family Chapel International, Rev Dr Victor Osei has urged the incoming John Mahama administration to avoid favouritism and nepotism while enforcing the law.
He emphasised that individuals involved in corruption should be held accountable, regardless of their political, ethnic, or religious affiliations.
Speaking to Channel One News during the 31st Watchnight Service in Kumasi, Rev Osei advised Ghanaians to manage their expectations of the new administration.
He also called on the government to address systemic waste.
“Ghanaians should just keep calm. They shouldn’t over expect because there are issues and there are problems that need solving. If Ghanaians are going to think that you can wave a magic wand ‘abracadabra’ then the country is out of debt and becomes wealthy suddenly.
“It doesn’t work that way. We are caught up in a vicious cycle that must be broken. I would encourage patience and fortitude of mind to change the way things are to remove nepotism favouritism, and cronyism because all these things affect us as a nation,” he said.
Rev Osei further expressed concern about the increasing culture of insults, particularly among young people criticising people in authority.
“One of the things that is very scary in this country is the culture of insults where people in authority, yes some of them do a lot of wrong things. It is not scriptural. It is not even cultural for us to denigrate people in authority,” he stated.
