Francis Quashie advised Christians not to allow the propaganda messages of politician to decide on who to vote for to lead the country in 2008. He urged them to allow their good conscience to guide them to vote for people who by their deeds and words already known to them are capable of providing the country with the requisite leadership to enable the country to progress. Bishop Quashie assured Christians that God had promised that when they sort his help and guidance he would always answer them and therefore advised them to seek for God's guidance in taking their decisions and all would be well with the country if really it was God who guided them.

He advised Christians to be wary of people who believed that, they have the right to be leaders of the country and either they become the leaders or "the country should burn".

Very Rev. Subeng urged Christians, who have been blessed by God to use their knowledge to unite the church and not to divide it if they are to continue to receive the blessings of God.
