In a statement issued by Gideon Titi-Ofei, the group commended the President’s leadership, describing it as principled and reflective of Ghana’s cultural and national values. They particularly praised his stance on governance and cultural issues, including debates surrounding the proposed Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill.
The clergy emphasised the need for Ghana to maintain its sovereignty in decision-making, stressing that external influence should not override the country’s traditions and legislative independence. They described Mr Mahama’s leadership as firm, measured and respectful, and urged citizens to remain united in protecting national values.
While Lincoln University cited “additional information” for withdrawing the honour without further details, the development has sparked mixed reactions. The Apostolic Fathers, however, said the decision should not diminish the President’s reputation but rather strengthen national resolve.
The group includes prominent religious leaders such as Nicholas Duncan-Williams, Charles Agyinasare, Sam Korankye Ankrah and Eastwood Anaba, among others.
