Senator Moye Criticizes BOCA Leadership Amid Title Controversy
Bong County Senator Prince Moye sharply criticizes the Bong County Christian Association (BOCA), calling its leadership “paid agents” amid disputes over his recent coronation as the county’s “godfather”. BOCA’s President defends the association’s independence, emphasizing their commitment to collective church governance.
Senator Prince Kermue Moye of Bong County has publicly criticized the Bong County Christian Association (BOCA), labeling its leadership as “paid agents.” This statement marks a significant escalation in tensions between the senator and local church leaders, particularly in light of his recent honorary title as the “godfather” of the county, granted by the Prophetic Call Like-Minded Pastors.
Moye’s comments were delivered during an interview on Radio Gbarnga’s widely listened to show, “Let’s Find Out”. He emphasized that churches should hold the authority to honor individuals as they see fit, arguing that BOCA’s role should be to facilitate peace and unity rather than impose limitations on recognition. “BOCA should know its role and where its limits lie,” Moye insisted, further elaborating on the right of churches to honor individuals during community events.
The senator insinuated that the opposition to his coronation was driven by political agendas, urging BOCA to sever any ties with political interests that could undermine its primary mission. As the situation unfolds, it suggests broader implications regarding the intertwining of politics and religion in Bong County.
In response to Moye’s accusations, BOCA President Rev. Obediah Canmue released a statement delineating that the title of “godfather” was awarded by a group of independent pastors, asserting BOCA’s lack of involvement in the decision. Rev. Canmue emphasized the absence of a biblical precedent for that designation, reiterating the organization’s dedication to shared leadership among Christian communities.
The ongoing dispute has ignited discussions throughout Bong County, highlighting potential underlying political and religious rifts within the region. Observers are noting the complex dynamics at play, as both faith and politics seem to be deeply woven into the fabric of community interactions.
In summary, Senator Moye has expressed serious concerns regarding the leadership of BOCA, claiming political motivations behind opposition to his recent honorary title. Meanwhile, BOCA’s leadership has defended itself against these accusations, maintaining their commitment to collective Christian principles. This conflict has not only stirred debate among local communities but hints at deeper tensions intertwining politics with religion in Bong County.
