Presiding Bishop and Founder of Perez Chapel International, Bishop Charles Agyinasare, has organized a clean-up exercise to remove posters, intended to publicize the four-day Festival of Miracles recently held at the Independence Square.
The Festival of Miracles was part of activities to mark Bishop Charles Agyinasare’s 35th anniversary in the ministry of God.
To advertise the event, which had a large number of people attending, posters were splashed all over the city of Accra which many Ghanaians, including the Accra Mayor, were unhappy about.
Days to the event, the clergy as well as organisers were heavily trolled on social media- receiving backlashes from a huge section of the public, who argued that the posters were defacing the metropolis.
A Twitter user, with the account name d_denzel tweeted "The rate at which Perez Chapel has defaced Accra City with Festival of Miracles posters is preposterous!! This is a clear case of indiscipline! Jesus didn’t teach us this!#shameful"
"Festival of Miracles posters really dirtied the whole of Accra."Mr Meister wrote on his Twitter handle.
Accra Mayor, Mohammed Adjei Sowah, said it was unacceptable and that even God will not be pleased with the level of the nuisance caused by the posters.
Bishop Agyinasare, smoked the peace pipe by urging the thousands of Christians that thronged the miracle service, to join forces with Perez Chapel International, to clean the city- in his last sermon at the festival on February 2, 2018.
Church members, volunteers, and organisers thronged the city, a day after the crusade, to remove the numerous posters and banners.
In a video and series of photos, the team could be seen pulling down posters on city walls, roundabouts and other public places.
The Festival of Miracles brought healing to many believers.
Throughout the festival, sight was restored to the blind, wheelchair-bound and crutch-aided people walked unaided, a woman with breast cancer got healed and the deaf and dumb also received hearing and speech.
In the coming weeks, Bishop Agyinasare intends replicating the festival in Cape Coast, Central Region and Tamale, Northern Region.

So didn't all the political parties know they had dirtied the city after elections? Did anyone ask them to remove the posters? I'm glad the bishop saw it wise to clean up, cos yes I knew the posters were too many. Some persons n churches also pasted theirs long ago, the programs were over many months ago yet they didn't see it important to clear them up. Bishop has done well.
joke of the century
Good. Please tell the Political Parties, both MP's and Presidential Candidates to come and remove all their Posters as well. Like Accra will be neat paaa. Especially those huge bill boards. Campaign is long over.
THE BISHOP DID NOT THINK BEFORE ACTING. IT IS ILLEGAL TO POST POSTERS ON PUBLIC PLACES, BRIDGES STREET LIGHTS ETC. THEIR LEADER DOESNT THINK BEFORE ACTING. THEY PASTORS SHOULD SHOW THAT THEY ARE ENLIGHTENED SMALL.
Ghana. What a country of chumps.These people should not have posted those posters all over the place in the first place. Do you think in Dubai you will see organisations posting posters on railings , bridges public buildings 'By heart' like we do here?It's disgusting to see newly built bridges with sometimes up to 40 posters all pasted in one small space,and I 've been wondering what the AMA thinks their mandate is.Here we are praising one group for doing the wrong thing.If someone steals your radio so he can listen to a programme and returns it later do you shower him with praises?We will never learn .We so love mediocrity.
How can he be a good example. Just look at what those ladies and the picture with that guy doing. Can all the posters be removed? You use glue to paste a pose and you come with just your hand to remove them. This pastor and all those who will defame the city should be warned and fined heavily when something like this is done..
They shouldn't have pasted those posters in the first place. Cleaning is of no effect as another church or organisation will quickly post new ones at the very spot. Did we go or did we come? There should be no posting by heart at all places.
It's commendable.
To intentionally mess up a place and clean up later? I don't see any good example in this. It is indiscipline which should not be encouraged. Those who do it should be arrested and prosecuted.
good one,thumb up Bishop. a very good example
