The Deputy Campaign Coordinator for Special Operations of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Chief Biney Hamilton Nixon, has asked President Akufo-Addo to apologise to the nation over the stalled National Cathedral project.

He warned that the President’s failure to deliver on his promise could bring a curse upon the country.

In a Facebook post, Chief Biney said the unfinished National Cathedral which was touted to be a beacon of Christian unity is now widely regarded as a national embarrassment.

The National Cathedral, one of the projects under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that inspired hope among many Ghanaians, especially Christians, has now been riddled with delays and growing frustration.

According to Mr Biney, there’s a stark contrast between that initial optimism and the current state of affairs.

“What was promised as a symbol of national pride has now become an empty, unfinished site, leaving Ghanaians questioning the leadership and integrity of the project. Some of the church members are secretly expressing doubt about seeing their Pastors on the board.

“Great men of God called on the Christian community to rally behind this project. But today, the entire cathedral has become a scam in the eyes of many. People feel betrayed, and it’s time for the President to address this,” he added.

He expressed deep concern that the president’s silence, with just two months left to end his tenure, could have long-lasting consequences for the country.

“Mr President, you said you would build this cathedral at all costs, but today, we are left with nothing but a hole. You owe an apology to the people of Ghana—and most importantly, to God.

“You demolished judges’ bungalows and left behind an unfinished project. If you leave office without addressing this failure, it could be a curse on the nation and family.”

The construction of the National Cathedral officially began in March 2020 to serve as a state-of-the-art national place of worship and national events. The National Cathedral is still under construction at the foundation level, as of 2024 although 58 million cedis is said to have been spent on it.
