Former Deputy Education Minister and current Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has expressed concerns over the disappointment of senior clergymen in President John Dramani Mahama’s administration. 

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen last week, he revealed that some prominent religious leaders feel let down by the president’s actions.

“Some very senior clergymen are very pained and disappointed by the actions of President Mahama,”Fordjour stated.

Rev. Ntim Fordjour explained that these clergy members had expectations based on promises made to them but now feel sidelined. While acknowledging that it is still early in the administration, he noted that their concerns are growing.

According to the Assin South MP, one of the most pressing grievances among religious leaders is the president’s decision not to appoint any clergymen to the Council of State. 

“Some of the promises that were made to them have not been ignored, but it’s early days yet. However, one that hurts the most is the non-appointment of any clergymen to the Council of State, unlike what former presidents did,” he remarked.

Formerly, President Kufuor appointed Rev. Prof. Asante Antwi, President Mills likewise appointed Rev. Dr. Nii Amu Darko, and President Akufo-Addo appointed Bishop Justice Akrofi.
