According to him, “The Presby Church of Ghana doesn’t belong to any party and does not support any party. It has been in existence before all the political parties came,” the Religious Leader said at a press conference.
Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Martey also revealed he was approached with a whopping $100,000 by politicians to woo him. He added that the desperate politicians upped their bid with a house that has a swimming pool at the plush Trasacco Valley and a 4X4 vehicle.
Though he would not mention persons who tried to court his support or the party the agents were working for, he noted that the unknown party had wanted to silence him with the bribe.
“Politicians have tried all means to muzzle me, to get me but they can’t, they come with bribes, fat envelopes, $100, 000…I want everybody to listen that politicians came to my house with $100, 000 and also with the promises that if you keep quiet we will give you a house at Trasacco with swimming pool."
He added: “We have seen government upon government. We partnered in the Fourth Republic JJ Rawlings, John Kufuor and Atta Mills and today we’re partnering John Mahama. So we will partner any government that comes.”
He noted that “The Presbyterian Church of Ghana does not belong to any party, and the Presbyterian Church of Ghana does not support any party. The Presbyterian Church of Ghana is in existence before all the political parties came…all governments that come to rule our dear nation, the Presbyterian Church of Ghana partnered them,”
The outgoing Moderator of the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Martey said it is wrong to describe the church that supports the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) or any political party.
He said the church does not and will never support any political party.
