A leading member of Movement for Change, Hopeson Yaovi Adorye has cautioned Majority Chief Whip in Ghana's Parliament, Frank Annoh-Dompreh to be mindful of his utterances towards his group's founder, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen.

The lawmaker openly criticised Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen for his remarks suggesting that Ghana, a predominantly Christian nation, should elect a Christian president.

Mr Kyerematen who was addressing a congregation on Easter Sunday emphasised the need for Ghanaians to elect a Christian leader. 

"As a predominantly Christian nation, as Christians, it is our responsibility that we elect a Christian leader who is also a Christlike leader," the former ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minister of Trade and Industry said.

"If God touches your heart, and you vote for Alan Kyerematen, the transformative leader, then I can assure you, as our Lord Jesus did on the cross, promise that ye shall be in paradise with him; you shall also be in paradise when I come into power," he said.

Reacting to this on his social media handle, Annoh-Dompreh lambasted Alan Kyerematen, labelling his comments “terrible, and ugly”.

"This is backwards, terrible, and ugly, to say the least. The NPP has truly 'suffered' in bearing and tolerating you over the years. Show me one country globally that has succeeded by using your theory. Alan is not relevant in our 'modern' body politics! Bow in shame!" he posted.

But Hopeson Adorye, in an interview with NEAT FM's morning show, Ghana Montie, warned Annoh-Dompreh to stay away from his leader's issues. 

"Who is Annoh-Dompreh? How old is he to rubbish what Alan has said? Because he has enriched himself through politics, he has the guts to insult Alan. I don't blame him. 

“Alan is well-mannered and speaks wisdom. Even he [Annoh-Dompreh] is proud and cherishes his running mate who doesn't speak well. Listen, whoever tries anything against Alan will regret it, we will equally face them.” Hopeson Yaovi Adory told host, McJerry Osei Agyemang.
