Alan Kyerematen To Clergy: ‘Politics And Religion Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin’

Former Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan John Kyerematen, has vowed to work closely with the leadership of the clergy if elected as the Presidential Candidate of the NPP and eventually President of Ghana.

He made the pronouncement at a private breakfast meeting with the leaders of the Ghanaian Christian community in Accra Tuesday, January 24, 2023.

Describing politics and religion as ‘two sides of the same coin’, at the meeting, Mr. Kyerematen said the bond between politics and religion is interwoven, adding that they are ‘two varied ways of leadership’.

“Both politics and religion revolve around leadership and followership, while politicians take care of the physical wellbeing of the people, the clergy takes care of their spiritual wellbeing,” the former Trade and Industry Minister told the clergy present.

He cited his Great Transformational Plan (GTP), recently launched in his national broadcast, as one of many prospects to steer the affairs of the nation to prosperity.

“When Ghana prospers, the people of Ghana will also prosper,” he indicated.

He promised to continually exhibit humility and leadership of service to the people.

Mr. Kyerematen was accompanied by his wife, Patricia Christabel Kyerematen and their two sons.

Some of the clergy members present included Rev. Ekow Amponsah of the Global Revival Ministry, Rev. Dr. Cyril Fayose of the Christian Council of Ghana, Emmanuel Adjei of Prayer Palace Int, Rev. Ernest O. Amoako of Fire Generation Chapel, Rev. Joshua Obeng of C.C.C Kumasi, Rev. Gyasie Emmanuel of the C.A.C among others.
