The National Democratic Congress (NDC), the opposition party, has been ordered to desist from politicizing the National Cathedral project by Richard Ahiagbah, the communications director of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In advance of the December elections, he advised the NDC to concentrate on developing a campaign narrative that connects with the Ghanaian people rather than indulging in political jargon.
Despite the project’s current foundational stage, Mr. Ahiagbah defended project expenditures in a statement published on X on Thursday, March 7.
He clarified that the expenses were necessary because the foundation represents the project’s central component.
Mr. Ahiagbah went on to counsel Ghanaians to ignore any efforts by the NDC to use the project as a political football during the next elections.
“There are those who are trying their hardest to ridicule the exalted task of building a National Cathedral in honour of God. Well, that’s a poor idea because to build, one must dig, and if it is an elevated project like a National Cathedral, the kind we envision, then the foundation represents the heart of the project, hence the cost.”
“What I know is that the Cathedral project is a work in progress. If we persevere, it will be completed.”
“The NDC must find a message to campaign with and stop politicizing the National Cathedral project,” he posted.
