Ghanaians' virtues needed in African body politic - GKS

Accra, Oct. 9, GNA - Brother Oseghale Emmanuel Aighalua, President of God's Kingdom Society (GKS), an international Christian Organisation, has praised Ghanaians for their unique virtues such as contentment and love for one another. He said such virtues are what African governments need to shape their body politic in ensuring political stability, tolerance, good governance and a peaceful society.

Brother Aighalua made these remarks on Wednesday when he called on the Deputy Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mr Frank Agyekum to inform government of the GKS' mission in Ghana and the world at large. Again, he announced that it was the first time a President of the Mission was visiting Ghana to celebrate GKS' Freedom Day. The day is celebrated in October every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. The society believes the actual birthday of Christ falls in the month of October. He said GKS's mission started 2005 in Ghana with the chief mission of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ through the promotion of brotherliness.

Brother Aighalua said founded in 1934 in Lagos, Nigeria, under the leadership of Saint Gideon Meriodere Urhobo, GKS's mode of worship are simplicity, the absence of formalities and emphasis on dispensation of truth.

"Humanity is the stepping stone to greatness," he said, and added that GKS message for the year 2008 is to seeking the interest of others.

Brother Aighalua urged politicians to learn to be "good losers" in an election saying: "He that gets power and not through the right means, will lose it in the end". The Deputy Minister, Mr Agyekum welcomed the Society's delegation into the country and said Ghana is an open and circular society that respects diverse religions. He said the state and church existed for the good of society and therefore pledged government's support to the mission and wished it well for the Freedom Day celebration.
