He advised politicians to see themselves as one people seeking the welfare of Ghana and that without unity of purpose and effective decision on the nation's direction, political bickering could not help solve the problems confronting the people. Rev Ofori-Amankwaa, who was addressing an Easter Convention on Good Friday at Koforidua, said Easter in Gods perspective stood for reconciliation and redemption. He expressed regret that Easter has now been reduced to merry-making, relegating the essence of reconciliation and restoration to the background while ethnic clashes are becoming the order of the day. He hoped that as the world reflects on the occasion, broken homes and marriages would be restored and reconciled as the trial of Jesus reconciled Pilate and Herod who were long time enemies.
