That's according to the General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana Rev Dr Kwabena Opuni Frimpong. Digging deep into Ghana's political history, Rev Opuni Frimpong said the NUGS and the Bar Association used to be powerful forces, whose words and statements shook the foundations of the political leadership. There has since been a counter allegation against him and widespread criticisms of the comments he made with others suggesting that the religious leaders must concentrate on spiritual leadership and leave the political issues to the political leaders. The flagbearer of the APC, Mahama Ayariga also asked the religious leaders to "mind their business". But Rev Opuni said the contribution of faith base leaders cannot be over emphasised and there is need for religious leaders to be active in all sectors of the country's development including politics.
