Apostle Opoku Onyinah, Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, has called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his appointees to be sexually disciplined.
He gave the advice at the Thanksgiving Service held in honour of the president by the Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panyin at Kyebi on Sunday, January 8, 2017.
According to him, "Sometimes people who are sexually loose are often tempted by men or women and act wrongly, so leaders should be very careful about sexual pleasure and other pleasures, otherwise they would have to turn the truth because of something they have done with somebody either a man or woman, when you go into the Bible, many have fallen short here and that has brought disgrace and disaster upon them."
