African Methodist leaders rally against human trafficking and social injustices

The African Methodist Council has issued a clarion call for the cessation of human trafficking, banditry, and illegal migration, commonly referred to as ‘Japa’. This appeal comes as part of a broader initiative to revitalize the faltering economies of many African nations teetering on the brink of recession.

During a six-day summit held at Wesley Chapel in Lekki, Lagos, the council’s president, Most Rev. Paul Boafo, emphasized the urgent need for continent-wide advocacy and educational programs. These programs aim to empower citizens and support government efforts to eradicate these scourges and lift the continent out of poverty.

Rt. Rev. Barr. Otuekong Ukut, PhD, speaking for the council president, highlighted the dire consequences for African economies if decisive action against these criminal activities is not taken. The council’s message was clear: without intervention, the economic stability of African nations is at risk.

In a communiqué dated June 7, 2024, the council, represented by 13 countries and 24 conferences, underscored the critical role that the church and its leaders must play. Through education, advocacy, and partnerships with NGOs and faith-based organizations, the church is called upon to steward God’s people and resources effectively.

The council’s statement, themed “A Revitalized Methodist Movement for the Transformation of Africa’s Socio-Political and Economic Landscape,” implores the church to persist in its defense of the vulnerable and oppressed. This steadfastness is essential for building a just and egalitarian African society.

Moreover, the council seeks to inspire a transformation within the Methodist movement, aiming to positively influence Africa’s socio-political and economic fabric.

In a powerful appeal, the council has called upon the church to unite with other organizations in denouncing the proposed repeal of the ban on female genital mutilation in the Gambia. A formal statement outlining the Africa Methodist Council’s stance has been issued, particularly addressing the Gambia Parliament, in a bid to uphold human rights and dignity.
