I want to apologise to Ghanaians for the embarrassment we caused our father and how our issues went public. He doesn’t deserve this

When I went to church yesterday, I knelt in front of almost 15,000 people to apologise. I told the whole church that we should let everything that has happened go

According to Akofena, the priority should now be protecting the dignity and legacy of their father instead of allowing the disagreement to further divide the family.

Our father deserves more than this

He said;

The Kristo Asafo Mission leader described the family dispute as an unfortunate reminder of human fallibility, arguing that disagreements can occur in any family regardless of social standing or background.

He said.

Things like this happen in every family and make us know that we’re humans and we have blood running through our veins. To err is human, no matter how great the person is or the kind of family you come from, you’re still human,

Akofena subsequently appealed to the public to give the family space to resolve its differences away from public scrutiny.

Ghanaians should forgive us
