Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has sent a rebuttal to his predecessor President J.J Rawlings on allegations he allowed illegal structure Villagio to be erected on waterways through the deals he cut. 
 
In the official response transcribed by MyNewsGh.com, former President Kufuor through his spokesperson Dr Kwabena Osei Adubofour says Rawlings should be the last person to speak about integrity. 
 
“He [Rawlings] talks about integrity? You know, that is like the pot calling the kettle black… He is the last person to talk about integrity”, Mr. Kufuor’s spokesperson said on Joy FM yesterday. 
 
According to the former President Kufuor, Rawlings speaking about him and mentioning Nkrumah’s name positively is ‘hypocrisy’ because Rawlings has worked against the Nkrumah family, including fighting against Fathia Nkrumah’s final wishes. 
 
“He [Rawlings] also pontificates like he is a lover of late president Nkrumah.. That’s not the truth. When Acheampong gave a bungalow to Nkrumah’s family, it was Rawlings who took the bungalow and gave it to D.F Annan .. When Fathia wanted to be buried beside her husband, we all know what Rawlings said about that” Kufuor’s spokesperson said. 
 
“Someone built his hotel and later buys it. So Kufuor’s son bought African Regent, what is wrong with that?” he asked. 
 
“What is he trying to achieve? We are talking about floods and you bring in Kufuor… You pick a grudge against Kufuor because he replaced you.. You couldn’t have been president forever.” He said. 
 
On conniving with Villagio and African Regent, the spokesperson said “Kufuor doesn’t give permits. No one builds and goes to the presidency for permit to build”. 
 
Dubious deals causing flood 
 
MyNewsGh.com earlier reported about how Mr. Rawlings claimed that Kufuor is the pacesetter for illegal structures that stand in waterways, causing annual floods and that anyone else guilty of the crime is only following Kufuor’s lead. 
 
Rawlings made these allegations when he received Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) delegation at his office in Accra on Thursday, October 31, 2019, where he took the opportunity to comment on current happenings in Ghana including the recent mass failures in law school. 
 
 
Rawlings took a swipe at former president John Kufuor for “building” Villagio and acquiring African Regent hotel under the guise of making it a library or clinic but maintaining it as a hotel. 
 
Rawlings said even though Kufuor had complained African Regent was overlooking his house and posed a security threat, he acquired it.

<h3>
Profile And Biography Of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong</h3>
Honorable Kennedy Ohene Agyapong is a Ghanaian politician and businessman who represents Assin Central in parliament for the New Patriotic Party.

He was first elected a member of parliament in 2000 to the seat of Assin North.

In 2012 he was elected in the new seat of Assin Central and was re-elected in 2016.

<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="405" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PP_v5wDW55o?rel=0" width="100%"></iframe>

<h3>
Early life and education</h3>
Ohene Agyapong was born in Assin Dompim in the Central Region of Ghana. Agyapong holds a GCE A Level and studied in the Fordham University, New York, USA. He is a farmer and businessman, director of Assin Farms, Supercare Group of Companies and Hollyood Shopping Centre. He is married with six children.
 
<h3>
Politics</h3>
In 2008, Agyapong had an unsuccessful bid to be Presidential flag-bearer of his affiliated party, the New Patriotic Party, losing out in the first round. The party's elected flag-bearer however lost the election.

In opposition, he criticized heavily the then National Democratic Congress government on various media platforms and found himself detained by presidential order of John Evans Atta-Mills, an occasion which sparked unrest on the political scene of Ghana. 
 
 He had made comments which the then head of state found threatening.

Many have pointed out that his comments on that occasion only pointed out the injustices to which members of the opposition party, particular market women, were subjected in parts of Accra when they turn out and tried to vote within certain constituencies. 
 
 Kennedy Agyapong chairs the Communication Committee in Parliament, under the current presidency of Nana Akufo-Addo.

Agyapong has vowed to commit suicide if former President John Mahama's brother, Ibrahim, is not jailed by the Akufo-Addo government for some corrupt activities which, according to Agyapong, have led to the state losing money. 
 
 One example he claimed, was the defaulting of payment of taxes by Ibrahim Mahama for more than a year period when his brother was President of the Republic of Ghana.

Agyapong's personal campaign on the issue to bring it to media attention led to the investigation of Ibrahim Mahama and subsequent agreement of Ibrahim Mahama to pay the said taxes. 
 
This action earned Kennedy Agyapong praises from a wide section of Ghanaians.

Agyapong's indirect attack on the Electoral Commissioner of Ghana Charlotte Osei for, he alleged, trading sex for her position as the Electoral Commissioner (EC) boss brought upon him criticisms from various leaders including Queen mothers and human rights activists as well as other members of parliament. 
 
 
In 2018, following the arrest of Ghana Football Association president Kwasi Nyantakyi, he said that anti-corruption investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas should be stopped before he started investigating people in their "bedrooms whilst asleep". 
 
 He has repeatedly threatened Anas and was condemned internationally by the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders he stated that Anas' methods were 'unfair'. 
 
 Speaking live on Adom FM on 4 June 2018, he called Anas "a blackmailer, an extortionist", mimed his throat being cut and said he should be "hanged."

He also called for "retribution" against Anas' fellow reporter, Ahmed Hussein-Suale, saying "If he comes here, beat him... Whatever happens, I'll pay." 
 
Hussein-Suale was subsequently assassinated. 
 
 In July 2018, he was cross examined for contempt of Parliament.

He is believed to be the first Ghanaian individual to own an ¢8 million Rolls Royce, and is believed to also own a private jet, sparking calls for an investigation from the Customs Excise and Preventive Service into his wealth.

He made the promise while speaking to the chiefs and residents of Ahanta West as part of his tour of the Western Region.

“We are coming to put up a rubber processing factory here so that people can get jobs to do. 
 
We will also restart the outgrowing scheme we introduced under the Kufuor administration which has collapsed today. 
 
We will restart the scheme for rubber producers to also get some money, as well as farmers,” he said.

I have had reasons constantly to blame our leaders and elders for the woes of Ghana, our motherland. 
 
I look at Ghana, the entire country from south to north; and east to west, the diseases, filth in our gutters and on the streets especially in Accra, plagues, wars, hunger and starvation. 
 
Infact, I hate it! I hate it to my bones. I hate that statement that goes; "Its in the pipeline". 
Which pipe and what line? 
 
We are too backward. Poor leadership, wicked elders, greedy clergy and a national witchcraft called  HYPOCRISY is what has put us to this mess. 
 
Ignorance will make one ask if truly Ghana is in a mess.. 
 
We have been so quiet for too long. We have been used too much. We have been tamed for too long. 
 
We have been slaves in our own country without chains on our wrists and ankles. We have been lied to , we have been used as election machines and everyone is quiet about it. 
 
The most important things we talk about as a people is Champions league, Hearts or Kotoko, sex videos, fufu at one joint or the other. 
Indeed, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! 
 
For more than two decades, the youth and next generation have been promised HEAVEN ON EARTH by Politicians; from Assembly members to Presidents and its been ALL LIES. BEAUTIFUL LIES! 
 
Sadly, we are motivated as people to believe Ghana is good and doing well. Which is a lie. 
We are spoken to, to trust that, all those sugar coated wrapped policies with sweet melodies are for the people and the next generation's interest. 
 
Which has never been. Its always for the politician and family interest. 
 
Despite our huge human and material resources, see where we are; the socio-economic difficulties we are grappling with. 
 
We are too greedy as leaders, elders and people to even notice that, the very youth and people who elected you and us are unemployed and starving. 
We are extremely selfish to the extent that, all we think about is how to win the next election. The needs of the people are relegated and substituted with disappointment and absolute wickedness. 
The anger of the people especially the youth may blow off very soon. Indeed, we are sitting on a time bomb. 
 
There is a new breed of Ghanaians who are determined; determined to find the way. 
 
The new Ghana realizes She cannot keep selling the destiny of this generation; the destiny of our children, our children’s children for chamber pots and Gh¢100.00, political appointment, for a job or possibly a promotion. 
 
You sell the destiny of the entire generation of over millions of people for political interest, food and meat you want to place in your pot bellies. 
Yet, you do not see the harm you are doing. 
Enough is Enough. 
 
I strongly believe now is the time, as a people to say; “enough is enough”. It is time to change the destiny of our Country, Ghana. 
 
A word to the wise is enough!

 Early life and history 
On September 27, 1954 David Olaniyi Oyedepo was born in Osogbo but is a native Omu Aran, Kwara into a religiously mixed family: his father,Ibrahim,was aMuslim healer and his mother,Dorcas,was a member of the Eternal Order of the 
Cherubim and Seraphim Movement (C&S), a branch of the Aladura movement in 
Nigeria. he was raised by his grandmother in Osogbo, who inculcated into him the 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
virtues of christian life via the early morning prayers which she do attend with 
him. He taught him the importance of tithing. David was “born again” in 1969 
through the influence of his teacher, one Ms. Betty Lasher, who took special 
interest in him during his high school days. He studied architecture at Kwara 
State Polytechnic and worked briefly with the Federal Ministry of Housing in 
Ilorin before resigning to concentrate on missionary work. Oyedepo also gained a 
Ph.D in Human Development from Honolulu University, Hawaii, United States of 
America.

According to him, he received a mandate from God through an 18 hour long vision in May 1981 to 'liberate the world from all oppression of the devilthrough the preaching of the word of faith'. This is the inaugural vision that 
led to the founding of the LFCWW, first called Liberation Faith Hour Ministries, 
in 1981. Two years after, on 17 September 1983, Pastor 
Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, 
ordained David and his wife, Florence Abiola Akano (now known as Faith Abiola 
Oyedepo) to become pastors also officially commissioned the newly started church 
of Oyedepo. Five years after, Oyedepo was ordained a Bishop. 
 
Oyedepo's church started in Kaduna, but moved to Lagos, the former capital of Nigeria in September 1989 to start a new branch of His Church, after receiving an instruction from God to reach out to the population in Lagos. This Church has 
gone on to become the International head quarters of His Church.Due to the 
increasing flow of people into His Church with crowds spilling over to adjacent 
roads, and on decks of uncompleted buildings nearby and people standing for 
hours to listen to His teachings, it became necessary to search for a larger 
place.This led to the building of the renowned Faith Tabernacle. 
 
Place of worship: 
In 1998, Oyedepo set forth to build a new building to accommodate the increasing number of worshipers. This resulted in his Church's acquisition of the initial 530-acre (2.1 km facility, known as Canaanland, which serves as the 
headquarters of His Church. It is the home of the 50,000-seat capacity 
auditorium, the 'Faith Tabernacle', which is reputed to be the largest Church 
auditorium in the world. This was featured or also recorded by the Guinness Book of 
Records. 
 
The speed of the construction of Faith Tabernacle was breath-taking, considering the size of the building. Construction of this gigantic project was completed within 12 months, which experts claim could only have been a miracle, 
because such a project should normally take a minimum of three years to 
complete. Reports also claimed that this building was built debt free. This 
50,000-seat edifice was dedicated in September 18, 1999 under the administration 
of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

At the beginning, in a unique vision-sharing meeting of the Power House (a team of men and women that stood in the gap interceding for this great ministry at the onset), precisely on April 10, 1982, God gave Brother David, as he was known at that time, the following profound prophetic verdicts, which were declared to the people: 
 
God said, 
"This ministry is not out to debate over doctrines, but to prove the power of the Holy Ghost." 
 
That is a power ministry connoting a flow of Signs and Wonders. Today, signs and wonders have become the trade mark of this ministry worldwide. Testimonies of the supernatural acts of God are shared in all our meetings everywhere. 
 
"The work of this ministry shall not be limited to this country alone, but to other nations. And Church establishment on the mission field shall be the goal, where the living Word will be taught." 
 
Today, we have mission stations in about 68 cities and towns spread over 30 nations on the continent of Africa, where great Churches have been built with large followerships. We have also established Churches in Britain and United States of America. 
 
"At the base of the ministry a tent shall be built to contain 50,000 people." 
 
Today, the 50,000 seat capacity sanctuary, Faith Tabernacle, located in Canaan Land, Ota, stands as a proof of God's faithfulness and commitment to His word. 
 
"A telecast shall be used to put on screen the gospel across nations." 
 
Today, church services at Faith Tabernacle are broadcast live via the Internet to all nations of the earth. Please note that at the time of this prophecy, internet technology was not in view. 
 
"The printing press shall operate at an industrial scale." 
 
Indeed, the Dominion Publishing House operates at an industrial scale, with about five million books printed to date. 
 
I saw wings passing across nations. This is interpreted to be an airplane flying to other nations, carrying the gospel of liberation. 
 
To date, the ministry has acquired two aircrafts, one in exchange for another newer and faster, within a short period. 
 
Church Operations: 
After the ministry was commissioned on September 17, 1983, church operations commenced in Kaduna the same year. Church services started with four members. Within a period of three years, the church multiplied greatly and attendance grew to thousands. Today that same church in Kaduna has well over 25,000 worshippers, holding multiple services on a 13-acre facility called the Garden of Faith in Kaduna, northern part of Nigeria.

In September 1989, Bishop Oyedepo moved to Lagos in obedience to God's instruction to: "Get down to Lagos and raise Me a people." The Lagos church started in a rented hall at 1A, New Era Road, Iyana Ipaja. From there, it moved to its own acquired 2.7 acre facility at 38, Raji Oba Street, Iyana Ipaja. There, a 3,000 capacity auditorium was built, which soon became inadequate for the ever-increasing worshippers at the Church. In January 1995, while praying in England for a larger space to accommodate the people, Bishop David Oyedepo received this word from God: "Why are you asking me for another land when you have not used the one I gave you?" So, the existing bungalow structures were pulled down and a four-storey L-shaped overflow facility and seven-storey office complex were built in their place. The buildings were all dedicated on Saturday, December 30, 1995. 
 
These facilities were still not adequate to accommodate the people and canopies were erected to create more room for people. Yet, in no time the people spilled over to adjacent streets. To cater for them, multiple services grew up to five on Sundays and two on week days.

The force behind the phenomenal growth of the ministry is epitomized in the anointed, proof-producing and life-applicable messages. This is in fulfillment of the instructions given to Bishop David Oyedepo early in ministry when he was bothered about the slow pace of the church growth. The Lord told him, "Keep sowing the seed, (the word), and keep the grass green and the sheep will come to lie down there, for he maketh me to lie down in green pasture." 
 
By divine direction, the ministry established a number of outreaches in Lagos to spread the Word of Faith to liberate men, as God commanded in 1981. These multidimensional outreaches have made a lot of impact on the body of Christ worldwide. Such outreaches include publishing of books and other periodicals such as The Winners' World, Signs & Wonders Today, and training through the Word of Faith Bible Institute (WOFBI) that is committed to ministry and leadership training and through the church network in the home and foreign missions. 
 
Due to the increasing flow of people into Winners' Chapel, Lagos, with crowds spilling over to adjacent roads, and on decks of uncompleted buildings nearby and people standing for hours to listen to God's word, it became necessary to search for a larger place. 
 
This was what led to the acquisition of the 530-acre facility, known as Canaan Land, which serves as the headquarters of this global ministry. It is the home of the 50,000-seat capacity sanctuary, the Faith Tabernacle, which is reputed to be the largest Church auditorium in the world and a living testimony to the awesomeness of God. 
 
The speed of the construction of Faith Tabernacle was breath-taking, considering the size of the building. Construction of this gigantic project was completed within twelve months, which experts claim could only have been a miracle, because such a project should normally take a minimum of three years to complete. It is important to note that the massive facilities that make up the Canaan Land estate were built absolutely debt-free, to the glory of God. These facilities include the well-renowned Faith Tabernacle, the church secretariat, the Youth Chapel, the Kingdom Heritage Nursery and Primary School buildings, the full boarding mission secondary school called Faith Academy, with over 1,500 students, the Covenant University with about 6,000 students, fully resident in ultra-modern hostel facilities, with fully equipped faculty buildings and numerous staff housing facilities.
