Bong County Senator Prince Moye has fired back at the Bong County Christian Association (BOCA) for denouncing his ‘Political Godfather’ title in the county.
It can be recalled that Rev. Obediah Canmue, President of BOCA, previously clarified that the honor bestowed on Senator Prince Moye as “ Political Godfather” was awarded by a group of pastors, noting that BOCA was never part or involved.
Rev. Canmue also noted that the term “Political Godfather” is not recognized in the Bible and that the association believes in a collective approach to leadership.
But on the contrary, Senator Moye made it clear during a recent interview with journalists in Gbarnga, that BOCA lacks the pedigree to question the recent decision made by ‘Prophetic Call to Ministry Like-minded pastors’ to honor and bestow such a title upon him.
He lamented that the Christian organization overstepped its functions by publicly criticizing the group of pastors, which he said has the propensity to fuel division in the Christian community.
The Bong County Senator, who recently donated a vehicle to BOCA, labeled the association as “pay agents,” accusing the clergymen of siding with opposition lawmakers to backlash against his title in the county.
Moye further defended the role of BOCA as an organization meant to foster coordination, peace, and unity among churches.
He stated that BOCA should not dictate which individuals churches can honor, arguing that churches have the autonomy to crown individuals as they see fit during events like the “Father of the Year/ Mother of the Year” celebration.
Moye expressed confusion over BOCA’s position, stating, “If BOCA does not know her role and where her limit stops, then I am confused.”
He further accused those opposing his title of being influenced by political reasons and emphasized the need for BOCA’s independence from political agenda.
The Bong County Senator stated that his ascendancy to the county’s highest seat through significant endorsement clearly signals that he deserves the ‘political godfather’ title.
He vowed to ensure the success of the ongoing reconciliation efforts BOCA in the county as part of efforts to restore unity in the Christian community.
