The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Kwabena Nyamekye, has appealed to feuding factions involved in the Nkwanta South conflict to lay down their arms and embrace peace to enable development in the area.
Apostle Nyamekye made the call during a visit to the Oti Region, where he expressed deep concern over the recurring unrest and disturbances.
He noted that the continued tensions are negatively affecting community development and undermining efforts aimed at improving livelihoods.
According to him, the conflict has disrupted business activities and church operations, worsening poverty and placing further strain on already difficult living conditions.
He stressed that peace is essential for stability, economic growth, and social cohesion, urging all parties to consider the broader consequences of the conflict on families and the wider community.
Apostle Nyamekye specifically appealed to chiefs and the youth to choose reconciliation over hostility, encouraging them to forgive one another and work together in unity.
He also called on young people to seek divine intervention and commit to consistent prayer for peace, emphasizing the role of faith in healing divisions and restoring calm.
He further reminded the youth that they have the greatest stake in the future of Nkwanta South, noting that lasting peace is key to creating opportunities for education, employment, and sustainable development.
He urged them to demonstrate leadership by rejecting violence and becoming ambassadors of peace in their communities.
