Bong County Senator Prince Moye has sharply criticized the Bong County Christian Association (BOCA) leadership, calling them “paid agents”. This statement follows BOCA’s disapproval of Moye’s “godfather” title conferred by a group of pastors. The senator argues for church autonomy in recognizing individuals, while BOCA maintains that their role is collective leadership without political interference.
Senator Prince Kermue Moye of Bong County has publicly criticized the leadership of the Bong County Christian Association (BOCA), labeling them as “paid agents” amid ongoing tensions following his recent declaration as the county’s “godfather.” This title was granted by the Prophetic Call Like-Minded Pastors group earlier this month, which BOCA subsequently distanced itself from.
In a radio interview on Radio Gbarnga’s “Let’s Find Out,” Moye defended the right of churches to honor individuals at their discretion. He argued that BOCA’s role is to enhance unity and coordination among churches rather than to impose restrictions on who is deemed worthy of recognition. “BOCA should know its role and where its limits lie,” he remarked.
Moye also suggested that the backlash against his title could stem from political motivations. He urged BOCA to resist political influence in their operations. In response, BOCA’s President Rev. Obediah Canmue issued a statement clarifying that the title was handed out by an independent group, asserting that the association was not involved in the decision. Canmue added that the term “godfather” lacks biblical foundation, re-emphasizing BOCA’s commitment to collective leadership within the Christian community.
The escalating confrontation has ignited discussions across Bong County, as residents are torn over the implications of this dispute, with many interpreting it as a symptom of broader political and religious rifts. The debate continues to evolve, reflecting deep-seated tensions within the community.
Senator Moye’s accusations against BOCA leadership highlight political and religious frictions in Bong County. His assertion about the agency of churches to honor individuals stands in stark contrast to BOCA’s position on leadership principles. The ongoing discourse continues to draw significant public attention, indicating that this is more than merely a personal dispute, but rather indicative of larger dynamics at play within the community.
