The Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa says the Nana Addo-led government's unbribled desire to build a National Cathedral as part of his political promises for the country will certainly not please God.
Backing his assertions with Biblical references, the outspoken NDC MP said “Jesus Christ will be much happy if we take care of the poor.”
“Mathew 25:34 stated clearly the urgency to support the poor. Failure to that you won’t make it to heaven,” he stated in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show, Ghana Monte.
Mr Ablakwa was discussing the release of GH¢25 million for the construction of the National Cathedral by the Nana Addo-led government.
According to him, the release of the funds for the cathedral project shows how insensitive the government is to Ghanaians who are suffering due to the current economic challenges the country is facing.
He suggested that the money released by the president for the construction of the cathedral could be used to boost the economy to make living a better one for Ghanaians.
“The God we are serving is a compassionate God, he expects us to do what is right first. You [President Nana Addo] cannot ignore the hungry people and build a church for God. It is not right. As Christian leaders, we should do the right thing. We serve a compassionate God.” he bemoaned.
But president Akufo-Addo has previously stated that the National Cathedral project is as important as any development project in Ghana.
Speaking at the Museum of the Bible’s inaugural Africa lecture held in the US on Thursday, May 5, 2022, the president said that the cathedral is essential to finding the missing link in Ghana’s development.

Jealousy will kill this baby with sharp teeth as I can NOT comprehend what he wants from this hard working President. Definitely ABROKWA you have shortened your life for the way you talk to your grandfather ok. You were in DUMSO government and created looted and shared monies even inside your car booth no one cursed you. Now I decree and declare that SAM OKUJETO ABROKWA will soon go blind! NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
VISIONLESS ABLAKWA. THE SMALL TEETHS ARE NOTHING BUT FULL OF VISIONLESS EMOTIONS. THEY CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH BENEFIT THE CATHEDRAL WILL EVENTUALLY BRING TO GHANA. INDEED VISIONLESS.
Please, stop making those uncivil defamatory comments, either out of innocence or incompetence, about our visionary President, Akufo-Addo. For he does not deserve it in any way, beyond any political malice imagined. It is rather unfortunate that the defamation is mainly coming from the NDC, the opposition party, particularly Ablakwa and his cohorts, who seem to be very diabolic about the good intensions of the President. There is nowhere in the world where the leaders have built cathedrals and monuments only in times of economic prosperity, but today these monuments are generating income for the common good. One would argue that priorities must be set right. But I believe that there are priorities that are set to generate immediate benefits and those for future benefits that are equally important. And it takes good leadership to be able to make the correct dose. I believe you will agree with me that the Akufo-Addo administration is not doing badly at all in terms of embarking on developmental and social interventional projects. The critiques of the national cathedral seem to ignore one important aspect: that he is employing the talent of a world-class Ghanaian architect to achieve that feat. Opposition politics should not be ludicrously reduced to baseless political polemics and seeing evil in everything. As Ablakwa and some NDC cohorts are attempting to do.
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU ABLAKWA LEAVE OUR PRESIDENT ALONE HE IS BETTER THAN YOU AND THE FORTY ***barred word***, DOUBLE SALARY GOONS NDC LOOTERS, ***barred word*** LOOOOSERS ALL NDC WILL NEVER COME BACK EVER EVER EVER AGAIN NEVER. YOU AND REST ARE NOT FIT FOR GOVERNING.OKUDZETO ABLAKWA IS THE ONE REPORTED HE LOST 200,000 CEDIS IN HIS VEHICLE DURING YOUR ERA. GO WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE. THE DESIGNER OF THIS CATHEDERAL IS AJEYE WHO HAS OFFICE BOTH IN LONDON AND GHANA WITH GHANAIAN EMPLOYEES. HAJEYE IS THE ONE WHO DESIGN THE BLACK AMERICAN MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON D.C. HE GOT MORE MONEY IN US DOLLARS THAN THIS AND AJEYE WAS CONTRACTED BY PRESIDENT BURACK OBABA SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EDIFICE. AJEYE IS A WORLD CLASS ARCHITECT NO TWO WAYS ABOUT THAT.
