In a strongly worded statement titled "Religious Leaders Must Stay Within Their Lane-Leave Constitutional Matters Alone," statesman and founding member of the (NPP), Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has cautioned pastors and prophets against meddling in the governance of Ghana. "Let me state clearly and unequivocally: this must not happen, and it will not happen," he declared, warning that Ghana's democracy must not be derailed by "pulpit proclamations." Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe expressed deep concern about the growing influence of religious figures in political discourse and constitutional interpretation.
He argued that the practice poses a direct threat to the nation's peace and democratic order, recalling a time in Ghana's history when a similar pattern led to dire consequences.
Citing the political unrest of the late 1970s under the regime of General I.K.
Acheampong, he drew historical parallels to how religious interference fueled instability.
