Founder and General Overseer of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams
The Founder and General Overseer of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, has revealed that he shed tears during the transitional period of change of government when he saw former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and President John Dramani Mahama together in a happy mood.
According to him, seeing the two statesmen sharing a happy moment made him feel better and brought tears of joy.
He explained that as a country, there is a need for leaders, regardless of political affiliation, to join forces and make the country better.
He also dismissed claims by critics that the warm exchange between Akufo-Addo and Mahama, which captured a lighthearted moment between them, was merely a publicity stunt for the cameras.
The preacher is seen addressing his congregation in a viral video, insisting that regardless of whether the moment was staged for the cameras, witnessing them together was a positive sign for the nation.
“When I saw President Nana Akufo-Addo and the incoming President John Dramani Mahama, taking pictures and shaking hands; tears were flowing from my eyes, and I said, this is all we want to see.
“Even if you think it was fake, those of you who have your own thoughts and minds and don’t believe in anything good… even when you saw that they were sitting together, you were saying it was faked. Don’t mind them.
“Whether it was fake or real, the fact that the two of them could sit together like we saw the President of America and President Trump sitting together in the White House, I saw the two of them sitting together like that,” he said.
He added, “And they shook hands, and when I saw those pictures, I said, God, my heart yearns to see more of this, where our leaders can truly come together and realize that it is not about them and their political party but it is about the country and the good of the citizens.”
