He said this, among other things during his sermon of the 31st December 2022 watchnight service in Accra.
“Ghana is becoming Sodom and Gomorrah in the things that some time ago we stone, we rebuke, we chastise people about, we try to massage it politically now, shame on our politicians,” Rev. Dr Lawrence Tetteh is heard saying in a video saying to his congregation.
He lamented how men of God have associated themselves with politicians, making it difficult for them to speak against them (politicians) when they engage in acts that are detrimental to the nation’s survival.
