Speculations abound as the NPP women’s group, Aglow Women Ministry, is suspected to be linked to a questionable statement from the Christian Mothers Association defending suspended Chief Justice Getrude Araaba Esaaba Torkornoo.
Observers suggest that this group, known for its powerful members such as the suspended Chief Justice herself and other prominent figures, swiftly criticized President John Mahama’s decision to suspend Chief Justice Torkornoo, insinuating ulterior motives.
The sudden appearance and fervent support from this unnamed group on behalf of the Chief Justice have raised suspicions, especially considering a prompt rebuttal from the authentic Christian Mothers association distancing itself from the earlier statement attributed to a false group.
The genuine association, in a clear statement, emphasized its adherence to Roman Catholic Church laws and teachings, and denied any association with the disputed press release lacking proper identification.
Significantly, the real Christian Mothers’ Association issued a disclaimer signed by Executive Secretary Mother Olivia Ansu Amponsah (Mrs.), complete with contact details and official letterhead, in contrast to the dubious group’s unsigned and unverified statement.
Amid the unfolding drama, attention is now focused on the contentious Aglow Women Ministry, previously implicated in political activities during the NPP’s 2016 electoral campaign. Criticisms of the group allege using religious cover to advance political interests, fueling doubts about their credibility and intentions.
The group’s perceived partiality and questionable advocacy for democratic principles now cast doubts on its motivations, especially as several members secured coveted positions within the Akufo Addo government, suggesting a bias.
As the controversy surrounding the Aglow Women Ministry’s potential involvement in the Christian Mothers Association unfolds, concerns mount over the extent of political influence and hidden motives driving these actions.
