Mother’s Day Celebration: Jackson University College Principal Issues Strong Warning to Pastors Over False Witchcraft Accusations Against Mothers

As the world prepares to celebrate Mother’s Day, Mrs. Theodosia W. Jackson, Principal of Jackson University College, issues a strong warning to religious leaders who falsely accuse mothers of witchcraft, describing the practice as dangerous and deeply harmful to families and society.

In a media interview, Mrs. Jackson passionately urges Ghanaians to reaffirm their commitment to honoring mothers, acknowledging their immeasurable sacrifices, resilience, and unwavering devotion to family and national development.

“Mothers sacrifice their dreams, endure hardships silently, and show unconditional love every day. They deserve our deepest gratitude, not unfounded condemnation,” she emphasizes.

Mrs. Jackson also calls on the public to extend special compassion to widows, recognizing the immense challenges they face in raising families under difficult circumstances.

“We must not forget widows. They need our prayers, emotional encouragement, and material support to thrive,” she advises.

Raising concern over the growing trend of wrongful witchcraft accusations, Mrs. Jackson condemns the actions of some pastors who falsely label mothers, warning that such baseless claims cause emotional trauma and destroy family bonds.

“It is completely unacceptable to allow baseless accusations to tear families apart. We must choose unity, love, and understanding over division and ignorance,” she stresses.

Mrs. Jackson concludes by urging Ghanaians to use Mother’s Day as a catalyst for continuous appreciation, protection, and empowerment of mothers throughout the year.

“A nation that values, uplifts, and protects its mothers lays the foundation for lasting peace, social cohesion, and sustainable development,” she states.

Mother’s Day, celebrated worldwide, serves as a powerful reminder of the strength, love, and sacrifices of mothers — the true pillars of homes and communities.
