Bishop Victor Goldsmith, founder of Kairos Rhema Foundation and Ministry International, has made a heartfelt appeal to Ghanaian politicians to prioritise tolerance and civility as the nation approaches its 2024 elections.
Speaking at the Theological Seminary's 79th graduation ceremony in Legon, where he completed his Master's degree, Bishop Goldsmith underscored Ghana's global reputation as a model of peaceful democracy. "Ghana has been a beacon of democracy and peace, and we must maintain this legacy," he emphasised. "It's puzzling why presenting policies and ideologies should lead to conflict.
We must preserve our nation's good name for posterity." He cautioned politicians against divisive rhetoric and urged them to see an election victory as a win for the entire nation, not just one political party. "Election is not warfare; it's about choosing leaders to manage our future," he noted.
Bishop Goldsmith further encouraged Ghanaians to carefully evaluate each party's policies before making informed decisions. "Let's study the policies, make informed decisions, and ensure our nation's continued prosperity," he advised.
