Emperor Bishop Bediako, founder of Jesus Power Eagle Kingdom Ministry International, has spoken out after his church at Pantang Village in New Town was demolished for allegedly being constructed on a major waterway, using the occasion to highlight his claimed support for the ruling National Democratic Congress.
The bishop said he had actively backed the NDC, going as far as slaughtering 32 cows in support of the party, a declaration that has drawn significant attention online given the context of his church’s demolition.
“I helped the NDC; I slaughtered 32 cows in support of the NDC,” he stated.
The remarks appear to be a pointed reminder to the ruling party of his loyalty, implying that his support has not been reciprocated in the handling of his church’s situation.
The demolition of the church was carried out on the grounds that the structure had been erected on a waterway, part of broader enforcement actions targeting illegal structures built on drainage channels and flood-prone areas across Accra.
Bishop Bediako has not indicated whether he intends to take legal action or seek redress through other channels.
His public disclosure of political support and the implied grievance it carries has sparked debate about the relationship between religious figures, political parties and state enforcement actions in Ghana.
