Spokesperson for Pastor Mensa Otabil says the preacherman does not need a diplomatic passport from the state like is being suggested.<\/p>\n
“Otabil has never requested, never accepted and has\u00a0never ever had a diplomatic passport at any time in his life,\u2019\u2019 spokesperson, Albert Ocran noted.<\/p>\n
Dr Mensa Otabil has \u201cnever\u201d had nor “requested” a diplomatic passport from the state,\u00a0 Rev Ocran added.<\/p>\n
Rev Ocran was reacting to a claim by a government communicator, Sam George that the motivational Speaker\u2019s recent likening of Ghana to a sinking ship, was borne out of sour grapes, after President John Mills (late) withdrew his [Otabil\u2019s] diplomatic passport.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The Founder and General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church on Thursday said Ghana needed a new leadership response to solve the country\u2019s economic problems.<\/p>\n
He also pointed out there was the possibility of Ghana\u2019s currency, Cedi falling to, as low as Ghc10 to $1.<\/p>\n
