Election 2024 is a 'make me' or 'unmake me' event so stay non-partisan - Korankye-Ankrah urges police

The Apostle-General of the Royalhouse Chapel International (RCI), Rev. Sam Korankye-Ankrah, has made a passionate appeal to the Ghana Police Service to separate partisan politics from their work.

This, he said, is especially important now because the country is in an election year and the hopes of the electorate is hinged on them, as well as other security services, in ensuring that there is peace and that Ghana’s democracy is unblemished.

Speaking at Tamale when he met with the police command in the Northern Region during his visit for the Encounter With The Oil in the region, Apostle-General Sam Korankye Ankrah stressed that the police should remain resolute in their work.

He added that considering the crucial nature of the 2024 general elections, and the two leading candidates in the race, a lot of hopes will be hinged on the police as they execute their work in safeguarding the peace.

“This is an election year and Ghana will be looking to the police for security and for a smooth before, during and after elections of 2024. This year’s election is dicey on so many fronts; on the fronts of religion, on the front of the two candidates all coming from the north – they are brothers and cousins, and against the backdrop of the economic conditions and situation that we have. This election is a make me, or, unmake me.

“This is where we will need the police of Ghana and the security services of Ghana to take a strong, solid, non-compromising position to make sure that our citizenry is preserved and protected; our institutions are preserved and protected; our democracy is preserved and protected,” he said.

He further assured them of his spiritual support and prayers as they continue to execute their work.

“On this score, I will ask the police to be non-partisan as always, and not partial as always for we the clergy, and particularly for me, the Apostle-General, and the fathers of the land, we have said that we will support you in prayer, we will also be non-partial and we are praying for the welfare and the wellbeing of our nation and our democratic practice,” he added.

Rev. Sam Korankye-Ankrah also sent a word of caution to the politicians, particularly those who feel they can play on the minds of the citizenry and not live by their words that they should beware.

He stated that the church will also play its role in keeping politicians in check since no one can be taken for granted any longer.

“We, the church, will do business with anyone that the people choose, except that we are cautioning politicians that gone are the days that promises were made and promises were not fulfilled. This time, our eyes are very red and this time, we are going to call power to account; we are going to hold politicians accountable. What they say, they must perform because the people must not be taken for a ride anymore,” he stressed.

Ghana goes to the polls on December 7, 2024, with the stakes very high on who takes over from President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on January 7, 2025.

The Apostle-General and his team also paid a courtesy call a chief at Tamale.
