The General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, Rev. Dr. Cyril Fayose has recommended the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for his love for the church despite being an Islamic brought up.
Rev. Dr. Cyril Fayose did hide his feelings whiles introducing the Vice President as the Special Guest of Honour at the opening ceremony of the Ghana Youth Congress at Gomoa Fetteh in the Central Region on Tuesday.
According to him, sometimes he gets confused, about whether Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is a Christian or a Muslim.
He added: “Whatever the case is, he is a friend of the Church. And when we invited him to this programme, he readily said Yes; that shows his love for the church as well as for young people”, He said.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Youth Congress is organized by the Christian Council of Ghana as a precursor to the upcoming African Youth Congress to be organized under the auspices of the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC), under the theme, “Ghana, My Home, My Future”.
Rev. Dr. Cyril Fayose said the Vice President was chosen as the Special Guest for the programme because “He is one person who believes in Ghana and believes that Ghana can make it. He believes that Ghana can be our future”.
However, during his speech, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia promised the youth delegates that Government will continue to do its best to help them develop their potentials and capabilities and provide the enabling environment to meet the growth aspirations.
He advised the youth to be focused.
