2024 Elections: Why would you attack me if it's not because of your wickedness and selfish interest? – Duncan-Williams
According to the man of God, such attacks on him are a result of the selfish interests of the political leaders behind them. “I saw when President Rawlings came in 1979 and 1981. “And I saw when President Kufuor came, and I have seen Atta Mills. In most elections, I would be attacked for different reasons, and the only reason why they attack me is because I pray for this nation,” he said. The archbishop also explained that he draws no lines with any political party but rather has the country’s interest at heart.
