“My women’s fellowship tells me that even if you bring Bawumia ten times, they will not vote for him.” — Naa Torshie
Naa Torshie’s statement is not only sectarian; it is an astonishingly irresponsible attempt to drag an entire religious community into her partisan frustrations. I intend to engage members of her church because her remarks raise a serious question: Why would a public figure implicate her entire congregation in such a contemptuous and divisive pronouncement? Her conduct reflects poor judgment and a disregard for the moral duties expected of someone who claims to speak within a religious space.
Her comment mirrors the reckless tendencies seen when public figures make unsubstantiated accusations, peddle inflammatory rhetoric, or offer ill-informed commentary. Like such carelessness, Naa Torshie’s remark displays no consideration for the consequences, consequences for her church’s reputation, for the credibility of the women’s fellowship she invoked, and for the longstanding harmony between Christians and Muslims in Ghana. It is a textbook example of public indiscipline masquerading as conviction.
Her lack of forethought is glaring. She spoke without pausing to assess the tension, misunderstanding, or reputational harm her words could unleash. Worse still, she casually implicated her fellowship members in her personal prejudices, placing them at the center of an avoidable controversy. This is not leadership; it is the abandonment of prudence.
I genuinely pity the church and the women’s fellowship she claims to represent. Through her words, she has imposed on them a burden they did not ask for, a burden of public scrutiny, embarrassment, and unnecessary risk. And as with other reckless political actors, her assertion carries no evidence, no authority, and no justification for labeling her church in such a careless manner.
Naa Torshie, you have been cautioned repeatedly about the tone and character of your public statements directed at Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. The moment of self-inflicted embarrassment has now arrived. Sadly, it is doubtful that any meaningful lesson will be learned. At the very least, as a woman of faith, one would expect you to exercise the sanctified discipline of speech, a discipline rooted in wisdom, humility, and reverence, especially when invoking the sacred name of the Church of Christ and the children of God.
NAA TORSHIE, WHY SHOULD YOU COMPROMISED THE REPUTATION OF YOUR CHURCH AND CHOSE RELIGIOUS PARTISANSHIP OVER RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP?
