Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, General Overseer of the Action Chapel International Ministry, has praised President Mahama for his ‘humble’ nature.
The respected Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, during a sermon at the President’s Fellowship with the Clergy on Friday, commended President Mahama for his ability to forgive those who wronged him. He shared that he had witnessed instances where the President forgave people who had stepped on his toes, highlighting Mahama’s tendency not to lose touch with individuals over their mistakes. Archbishop Duncan-Williams emphasized that President Mahama does not exhibit vindictiveness, stating, “Mr. President, you are that kind of example because I’ve watched you when you were in power before, even in the days when you were in Parliament. I watched your attitude.”
“I’ve seen people hurt, offend, and betray you over the years. We’ve talked about some of them,” Archbishop Duncan-Williams remarked during his sermon on Friday, February 28, 2025. He continued, “You don’t discriminate. You have not lost your common touch, whether in opposition or in government, you are not vindictive. Please stay that way, don’t change.”
Archbishop Duncan-Williams shared a story about President Mahama, who, despite having been hurt and offended by someone during his time in opposition, displayed remarkable kindness. He recalled, “Recently, I was with you at a meeting, and an individual who had deeply hurt and offended you when you were in opposition passed by. You stopped him and gave him a hug. I wondered, what kind of man is this?” The Archbishop added, “When I mentioned it, you pointed out how he spotted you and hugged you. I called it the power of humility.”
The Archbishop also urged Ministers to emulate the President’s example. He cautioned them against using their authority to seek revenge. “I advise all Ministers who sit with Mr. President not to be vindictive, not to return evil for evil, not to try to settle personal scores, and not to misuse the President’s victory and glory to target others. There are consequences for such actions,” he warned.
Archbishop Duncan-Williams cautioned, “When you use the power entrusted to you, meant to serve the citizens, to settle scores or prove a point, there are serious implications for that.”
