In a developing controversy, the chiefs and residents of Nogokpo in the Ketu South Municipality have issued a 14-day ultimatum to Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, the General Overseer of Perez Chapel, demanding his presence for a peace talk. The ultimatum comes in response to a statement made by the Archbishop about the town being described as the demonic headquarters of the Volta Region.
The traditional leaders have expressed their dissatisfaction with the comments made by Archbishop Agyinasare and are seeking a direct meeting with him to discuss the matter. They have warned that failure to comply with their demand would force them to take appropriate action.
In his defense, Archbishop Agyinasare clarified that he had no intention of defaming any particular group of people or their communities. However, the chiefs and residents of Nogokpo remain adamant that the Archbishop should take responsibility for tarnishing the town’s image and address the issue appropriately.
The controversy has sparked concerns among the community, with many expressing their disappointment and frustration over the perceived insult to their cultural heritage. Nogokpo, known for its historical and cultural significance, holds a special place in the hearts of its inhabitants, who feel strongly about protecting its reputation.
The 14-day ultimatum issued by the Nogokpo chiefs signifies their urgency in resolving the matter and seeking an apology or retraction from Archbishop Agyinasare. The traditional leaders have emphasized the importance of the Archbishop acknowledging the impact of his words on the town and its people.
It remains to be seen how Archbishop Agyinasare will respond to the ultimatum and whether a meeting will take place within the specified timeframe. The outcome of this controversy will not only determine the future relationship between the Archbishop and the Nogokpo community but also highlight the importance of cultural sensitivity and respectful dialogue in religious discourse.
Both parties hold the responsibility to engage in constructive discussions and find a peaceful resolution that respects the sentiments of the Nogokpo community while fostering understanding and reconciliation. The eyes of the public will closely follow this situation as it unfolds, eager to witness a positive outcome that upholds the values of mutual respect and unity.
