The Founder and President of World Miracle Outreach, Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, has apologized to the University of Ghana (UG), Legon, over his claims that the students of Legon are affected with HIV.
Speaking on GTV, the man of God stated that he didn’t mean to undermine the University.
“Let me unconditionally say sorry to the University of Ghana, Legon. I think most people will not know that I have had a long-standing relationship with the University of Ghana. But for my scholarship to Hungary, I would have been a product of the University of Ghana. And some of us walking through the corridors and having drunk from that well, we would not just throw it into the pit. I must also say that I’ve done a lot of programmes for the University of Ghana. Even as a man of God, I’ve spoken in conferences and seminars, I’ve organised crusades. I’ve also been a blessing to the university in diverse ways.”
“There are many Professors, Lecturers, Vice-Chancellors, Pro Vice-Chancellors that I have personal relationships with. And we should also forget that the leadership now, most of them will either be my age group or maybe, however, the last thing I want to do is undermine the credibility of a serious university like Legon. I apologise unconditionally. My message last week was not intended to undermine the credibility of the school. I was talking about the children. I think as a parent, a father and a clergy member, I felt I hold the responsibility of cautioning the children. And so if it has not sunk very well, I stand here today in the spirit of maturity and respect for the university and also respect for peace. I say sorry, sorry unconditionally. I apologise and I mean it,”
“I don’t know how I could have presented this one but I am happy I have the chance to reflect on this. I wrote the letter myself and I went through with my family. I think my wife, my children and other family members met and we decided the way to go to say sorry. And put this story as an example, in leadership, we take responsibility. I take full responsibility for every word that comes and also my apology.”
” And I also want to put on record that we should pray for our youth. It was unfortunate that I zeroed in on the University of Ghana when I could have generalised it. That in the days we live in, our youth are too open and we should help them. And as parents, we should all be instruments of help to the generation.
“But let me use this medium to say sorry to the leadership, the management, the vice chancellor, the chancellor and the entire staff and student body of the University of Ghana, Legon. And I want to say, I say this thing wholeheartedly from my heart.
