New Patriotic Party (NPP) member of parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has viciously attacked former Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Nana Oye Lithur over her silence on the Prophet Badu Kobi brouhaha.

According to the legislator, the famed Ghanaian human rights lawyer/feminist has proved to be picky on issues she wants to take on.

Describing her as a "shameless opportunist", Mr Agyapong said Nana Oye Lithur has failed to condemn the abusive and ethnocentric comments made by the leader of the Glorious Wave Church International, Prophet Badu Kobi.

Speaking his Madina based television station, Net 2 TV, the maverick businessman retorted, “Women activist like Nana Oye Lithur, when I made remarks about Charlotte Osei, she was able to organise Queenmothers, women, against me. Where is Nana Oye Lithur? Where is she? Nana Oye Lithur is a shameless opportunist. Where is she, if indeed, she is fighting for women? Where are the Queen Mothers in this country? Where are they? Do we really have women in this country to take on this guy?"

Mr Agyapong also questioned the relevance of the role played by the body that oversees the work of the Christian religious groups in Ghana, Christian Council.

“We say we have Christian Council? They are bogus. If the comments were made by a politician, there would have been backlash from them. A pastor has made very awful remarks and all we heard was that pastor is not a part of the Council. As I sit here, do I know the difference between members of the Christian Council and those who aren’t part? Who has come out (from the Council) to condemn such comments?” he quizzed.

Visibly furious Kennedy Agyapong wondered why, “we are sitting there, allowing this guy (Prophet Badu Kobi) to disgrace women in this country and nobody has come out to condemn this guy.”

“And you women, I don’t know what is wrong with you, what motivates you to still fellowship at his Church? We cannot allow this to go on in this country. The American President made racist comments, look at what is going on in that country? And a Pastor makes such comments as he did and everybody has kept quiet. You wake up wasting your time in his Church, what at all are you looking for from God, Ghanaian women? God has given you wisdom, use it,” he advised women who are still members of his congregation.

Embattled man of God, Prophet Badu Kobi made disparaging comments against some tribes in the country in a recent church service.

Prophet Kobi at a sermon described women from certain tribes as unwise and unmarriageable and admonished prospective husbands to avoid marrying from those tribes.

He told his congregation that: “Fanti women are foolish sometimes and Ewes too are doormats. But for Ashanti women no!... If you marry Ashanti lady, you have imported problem for yourself forever. I have done research and it is so and I’ll never marry an Ashanti woman…”

His comments has been widely condemned by civil groups and individuals in the country.
