A
distinguished man of God who doubled as 'Peace and Development
Advocate’ has embarked on tens of thousands kilometer one-man campaign
across the West Africa, to promote “Peace, Tolerance, Democratic and
Development”.
Rev. Dr. Godwin Davids is currently around the
Burkina-Faso border returning, after taking the campaign to other places
like Ouagadougou, Mali and over hundred towns and villages along the
eastern corridors of the sub-region.
The respected man of God
whose message is peace and tolerance should prevail in African, embarked
on the three weeks trip using a Nissan Cube, with registration number
GT-608-12.
With inscription bold written in English and French,
“We Are Africans” …“Nous Sommes Africains” which was pasted on the car,
the highly spirited Man of God embarked on the campaign alone.
The
Development Advocate preacher started his campaign from the Northern,
Upper East and Upper West Region, Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina
Faso and some communities in the outskirts of Mali, where he temporarily
ended it.
Rev. Dr. Davids told The Herald the reason for
embarking on the campaign is to ensure “peculiar needs of people in the
region is addressed and also the need to promote the interest as well as
the welfare of every citizen on the continent”.
According to
him, there is the need to promote African unity through “peace,
tolerance and diversity among the people of Africa for the development
of the continent”.
Rev. Dr. Davids who is also a preacher and
poet stressed, African can be developed when interest of farmers is
promoted since “agriculture is important to the economic development of
Sub Sahara Africa”.
He hinted The Herald that the second phase
stage of his campaign will take him to Yendi, Bimbilla, Damago in the
northern and move to Wa and Tumu in the Upper West region and stop at
Ivory Coast.
According to Rev. Dr. Davids, high on the agenda for
his next campaign is crusade against the third term bid of all African
Leaders. He said he would prepare posters with the slogan, ‘Say No To
Third Term Mandate’ which will be put on his car during the tour. |
