The former Deputy Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Joseph Yamin has launched a scathing attack on the head pastor of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) Pastor Mensa Otabil for speaking against ‘fufu’ eaters in the country.
Pastor Otabil is captured on a video which has generated controversy saying people die before their time due to their continuous eating of locally prepared ‘fufu’ infested with bacteria from pestle and mortar use in pounding it.
Speaking on Abusua FM, Mr Yamin claimed the man of God lacks ideas to preach to his congregation hence his ‘unguarded’ comment about the delicacy widely eaten by Ghanaians.
According to him, ‘fufu’ eating has been with Ghanaians since time immemorial saying his preaching pattern has changed because his party New Patriotic Party (NPP) is now in power.
”Otabil has nothing to preach about, he seems to be diverting from his usual preaching about leadership and resorted to talking about fufu. Fufu has made you who you are today, why speak against it?,’ he claimed.
The former Ashanti regional secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) claimed the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has failed Ghanaians with his numerous promises of changing the fortunes of the country hence the diversionary tactics adopted by Pastor Otabil.
Mr Yamin said Ghanaians who are faced with hardships are disappointed in the government because ‘Dumsor’ is back and that their businesses are on the verge of collapsing.
He questioned why Pastor Otabil is playing the double standards by telling Ghanaians to desist from complaining and give the government ample time to fix ‘Dumsor’ but spoke against the erstwhile Mahama-administration on the power outages.
‘Pastor Otabil has instead been telling Ghanaians to stop complaining and work on their attitudes. He said Ghanaians have attitudinal problem, he keeps saying Ghana’s problem is not about leadership but attitudinal problems among Ghanaians.
He described ‘Dumsor’ in former President Mahama’s administration as bad leadership, but now that it is occurring in President Akufo-Addo’s government, he says its attitudes on the part of Ghanaians, saying we like talking too much and that we should allow the government to do its work. He is just diverting attention, Ghanaians are disappointed in the government and Pastor Otabil and other NPP pastors are justifying the hardships in their preaching,’ he fumed.

Pastor Mensah Otabil always has words of wisdom to offer freely. When God gives u wisdom, u speak and do things that people without wisdom finds it difficult to understand. In 2006 he preached abt the fast changing world in which we live in. I remember him saying'' dont be comfortable where u r now, cos a time is coming whereby the work u r doing will be done by a machine and ur services will no longer be needed, so dont stop studying''. Arrnd that time, telecommunication(space to space) was on the rise.But 10yrs now, where is that business??. People use to buy sim cards at huge price but now its jxt ghc2. And even that, they go arrnd insearch of customers. Fufu is not a bad food but how it is been prepared. And am glad the man of God has drawn many peoples attention to it when it comes to the preparation of it in order not to bring upon ourselves some needless siknesses. So pls lets not politicise his speach.
Look at you ooooo attacking a man of God. It's a shame how low some so called Ghanaians can descend. You have to apologize to the Man Of God. NNPP is in power and we are happy. Dumsor has always been with us Dramani Mahama never fixed it. We will fix it. Go and hide in your rat hole and come out only when the place is tooooooo hot. Coward.
what is wrong with this prempeh boy who did not know any thing during school days who used his classes hours to trap rates and squerals,yamin,this time will descend on you heavelly i promise you!we gave you long rope but you have wranting to the tail end,so be on your guard
it unfortunate for this guy to talk like these but i know you will live to appreciate him Dr Otabil one day.
Is this a picture of a cow or a human being....i need to know?
God in his infinite wisdom has given mankind something called Brains which is suppose to aid one to make the correct and right decisions for their lives. But when it comes to Africa, some are no better than annnimmmalls because they are just F00OLISH such that at times you wonder whether they were also given human brains. So sad for Africa. This Yamin guy was once a minister of Ghana. No wonder the Black African is still impoverished after controlling over half of the world's natural resources.
seven weeks ooooo people, seven weeks. and my friends in NDC are panting for breath already. I wonder what will happen after NPP has been in power for two years. ONAAAAAAAPO!!!
LOOK AT THIS DISAPPOINTED LEBANESE/GHANAIAN.IF IT WERE IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHO WOULD APPOINT YOU A MINISTER.
PEACEFMONLINE why do u give so much publicity to this weasel and buf00n.
