The new development follows the participation of the pastor in the #FixTheCountry protest in Accra on August 4, 2021, where he claimed that the rising unemployment and economic mismanagement has rendered his church members broke and they cannot give offerings and pay their tithes anymore.
He explained in an interview that later went viral in the media space that the situation compelled him to join the mammoth demonstration that sought to put pressure on the government to #FixTheCountry.
“This demonstration is a peaceful demonstration. We are not going to destroy any state property. We are not against NDC or NPP, but we are against the bad leadership of this nation. These days our church members cannot give offerings or pay their tithes because all our members are broke. There are no jobs in this nation that is why I have joined this demonstration,” Apostle Dr. Daniel Adjei said.

It added: “The Evangelical Methodist Church has built a school, and given back to the society and among others. We want to set the record that the finance of the church does not rely on tithes and offerings.”
