"Maybe God Wants You To Fulfil The Promise": Apostle Urges Bawumia To Complete National Cathedral

  • Apostle Francis Amoako-Atta says God may have intended for Dr Bawumia to complete the construction of the National Cathedral project
  • The construction of the National Cathedral project has stalled for several years after it was rocked by scandal after scandal
  • He has urged the vice president to continue his collaboration with the church to find a private developer to complete and manage it

In a message akin to the story of David and Solomon in the bible, the presiding Apostle and General Overseer of Freedom Chapel International Ministry, Francis Amoako-Attah, has urged Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to complete the National Cathedral project.

The construction of the cathedral was a pledge President Akufo-Addo said he had made to God before winning the 2016 elections.

According to Amoako-Atta, God may have destined Dr Bawumia to complete the project President Akufo-Addo has started, just like in the story of David and Solomon.

In a speech during the New Patriotic Party flagbearer’s visit to the clergy in the Greater Accra Region on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, Amoako-Attah said Dr Bawumia’s project completion would be prophetic.

"It's going to be so prophetic; a temple was built, and the president who dedicated it to the Christians was a Muslim,” he said.

He urged the vice president to do all within his power if he becomes president to complete the Cathedral. He also suggested that the construction and management of the Cathedral be handed over to a private entity.

Apostle Amoako-Attah added it would be a shame if the hole where the Cathedral was supposed to stand were forever empty. The apostle also expressed joy that the vice president was passionate about involving the church in governance.
