Rev. Gregg Johnson, President /Founder of GLTI, noted  that the  honour  bestowed  on  the  Vice  President  comes  in  the heels  of  his  leadership   qualities in integrity  and  dedication to  society.

In a citation accompanying the award, the Vice President Mahama was acknowledged for his affability, peaceful nature and impeccable character.

The citation also described him as simple and someone with excellent leadership qualities, particularly during his days as a Member of Parliament.

“In this age, there is the need for leaders to adopt attitudes and traits of Christ towards the fight against corruption,” the Vice President noted.

He encouraged the church to partner with government in ridding society of anti-social behaviours and corruption.

He reiterated the NDC government’s determination to build a society that upholds high the tenets of character, integrity and fairness.

He also lauded GLTI for the course contents of their conferences which included subjects that address the canker of corruption.

However, Rev. Johnson commended Ghana for showing the way to good democratic governance and the pursuance of peace in troubled spots in the world. He  remarked,” Ghana  from  the days  of   Kwame  Nkrumah  has  proven  that  she  has leadership  in  her  DNA’’
