I pray votes buying will end - Apostle Onyinah
Apostle Opoku Onyinah

A former Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah says he prays for an end of the practice where politicians share monies to delegates to vote for them.

He said this was because the parliamentary candidates were supposed to be advocates for judicious use of state funds.
Apostle Onyinah said this on Sunday when delivering a sermon at the NPP's  National Thanksgiving Service.
He appealed to the leadership of the Party to serve in humility and graciousness, recognising themselves as not more of citizens than others, and strive for the common good of all.

“A gracious person knows not only of his rights but also his responsibilities to his nation and respects the rights and interests of others,” he said as quoted by the GNA.

Speaking on the theme: “Jesus is For All,” Apostle Onyinah asked the Party leadership, and all political parties fighting to attain power, to erase the thoughts of suppressing the vulnerable with their actions and inactions, as that could lead to their failure.

“You must be leaders who shall include and support all, irrespective of where they come from and what party they belong to,” he added.
He asked the NPP and the National Democratic Congress to do their homework well before contesting the next election, adding that the almost equal parliamentary seats for both parties meant God wanted them to work together in the next Parliament for the good of the country.
