Motivational Speaker Pastor Mensa Otabil says Ghanaian politicians who easily shuttle between different political parties are motivated only by what they will get.

“I think one of the greatest tragedies of our country is that people don’t stand for anything. Well, maybe they stand for something. They stand for their stomachs. But beyond their stomachs they don’t stand for anything; there’s no values. People will move from one extreme to the other instantly”, Pastor Otabil preached in Church on Sunday February 16, 2014.

He said: “One of the things that amazes me is Politicians who are able to move from one party to another instantly. Somebody annoyed me, I change my mind. I wasn’t given a contract, I change my mind. I wasn’t given a Ministerial position, I change my mind”.

“What do you stand for? Is there something that you say ‘this is what I stand for and I’m not gonna change my mind even if I’m inconvenienced’”.

Pastor Otabil made the admonishing during one of his teachings, which focused on how to live a worthy legacy by writing a good name.

The notable speaker also thought his congregations about accomplishments in life, convictions, purpose, character amongst a raft of other personal development subjects.
