Former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo (Esq.), has publicly called for peace, unity, and reconciliation within her family following the passing of her father, the renowned industrialist, religious leader, and founder of the Kristo Asafo Church, Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo.
In an official public statement, the legal practitioner declared her commitment to preserving her late father’s legacy and urged her siblings and members of the church to put aside past grievances in favor of family solidarity.
Endorsement of Leadership
Crucially, Sarah Adwoa Safo extended her full backing to her brother, Israel Kwadwo Safo, explicitly recognizing and accepting him as the overall Leader of both the Kantanka Family and the Kristo Asafo Church.
“I have immense love and respect for my brother, Israel Kwadwo Safo, and in the spirit of honouring our father’s wishes, I publicly acknowledge and accept him as the Leader of the Kantanka Family and the Kristo Asafo Church,” she stated. She added that she stands ready and willing to work closely alongside him to advance their father’s vision and long-standing achievements.
Consigning Differences to History
Addressing the friction that arose within the family following the death of Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo, Adwoa Safo noted that the time had come to transcend any past misunderstandings or disputes. She emphasized that she has chosen “the path of conciliation, founded upon love, mutual respect, and the enduring undisputed bonds of family”.
She described her father’s lifetime achievements and industrial contributions as a “collective inheritance and a profound responsibility” that belongs to all his children rather than any single individual. According to her, the family must rise above internal divisions to ensure that the late Apostle’s ideals continue to inspire present and future generations.
Appeal to Church Members and Well-Wishers
Extending her plea beyond the immediate family, the former minister called on all members, followers, and associates of the Kristo Asafo Church across the globe to embrace this new chapter with fraternity, forgiveness, and a shared purpose.
“I encourage all members of the Kristo Asafo Church and the larger Kantanka family and everyone associated with our father’s work whilst he was alive to acknowledge and respect the unity of the family,” she urged.
Closing her message with a call for spiritual healing, she offered goodwill to her brother Israel and her other siblings, expressing hope that this public commitment to reconciliation will mark a new era of renewed strength and peace as the family moves forward together to honor Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo’s memory.
