Spokesperson for Pastor Mensa Otabil says the preacherman does not need a diplomatic passport from the state like is being suggested.
“Otabil has never requested, never accepted and has never ever had a diplomatic passport at any time in his life,’’ spokesperson, Albert Ocran noted.
Dr Mensa Otabil has “never” had nor “requested” a diplomatic passport from the state, Rev Ocran added.
Rev Ocran was reacting to a claim by a government communicator, Sam George that the motivational Speaker’s recent likening of Ghana to a sinking ship, was borne out of sour grapes, after President John Mills (late) withdrew his [Otabil’s] diplomatic passport.
Sam George said on private FM station, Asempa on Friday that Pastor Otabil is upset at the governing party for denying him the privilege of owning a diplomatic passport, thus his description of Ghana as a sinking ship.
But Rev Ocran in a response on Accra based Joy FM on Saturday said his boss bears no such grudges because he has never relished the privilege of owning a diplomatic passport and will never.
The Founder and General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church on Thursday said Ghana needed a new leadership response to solve the country’s economic problems.
He also pointed out there was the possibility of Ghana’s currency, Cedi falling to, as low as Ghc10 to $1.
Meanwhile private legal practitioner, Yaw Oppong also described on Citi FM‘s The Big Issue programme as “unfortunate” government’s attacks on the respected and renowned preacher.
