Popular Nollywood
actor, Pete Edochie when he paid a courtesy visit to Ghana’s former President,
Jerry John Rawlings, disclosed that African leaders are full of deceit and
as such, smaller gods should be used to swear them into office rather than the
Bible.
The actor who is
currently in the West African country, also noted that he does not only bear
resemblance to Rawlings, but sees him as a brother.
“State officials who
swear with the Bible become more corrupt when they are in office. God forgives
easily, so these officials do not take the oath serious whenever they hold the
Bible to swear.
“But the smaller gods
are not merciful like the Almighty God who created heaven and earth. They
should swear with gods so that it will put fear in these corrupt leaders to
distance themselves from corruption,” the ace actor said.
Speaking further, the
actor hinted he sees Ghana as his second home especially that he was born on
the 7th of March, a day after the country marks its independence celebration.
He said, “I
will be 70 on the 7th of next month and I see Ghana as my second home. I will
try to come and commemorate the independence celebration here.
“Everywhere I go,
people of Ghanaian origin say I remind them of Rawlings, to the extent my own
daughters joined in the fray.
“I agree with people
who saw we have the resemblance because I know how I look and seeing him here I
have no doubt they are right. It appears we have a lot in common,” Edochie added.
