Prophet Victor Kusi Boateng, also known as Adu Gyamfi, Founder and General Overseer of Power Chapel Worldwide, stirred up his congregation with a provocative question: “Will I be permitted to give a political prophecy in Ghana?”
The enthusiastic crowd responded with fervor, chanting, “Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Flow, flow, flow, flow. Flow, flow.”
With the green light from his followers, Prophet Boateng addressed the Inspector General of Police (IGP), whom he referred to as his “son,” a claim previously corroborated by MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa. The prophet questioned the IGP’s stance on arresting prophets for fear-mongering, contrasting it with the freedom afforded to political scientists to make election forecasts. “Why won’t you allow me? Or you still don’t believe me as a prophet?” he queried.
Prophet Boateng then launched into a detailed prediction about the upcoming elections. He warned that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) could lose seven to ten seats if they are not careful, while the National Democratic Congress (NDC) might lose 19 to 24 seats to the NPP. He prophesied a delay in election results until December 9th, predicting unrest with initial attempts to incite violence fizzling out by the second day.
“The Lord has told me that by the 9th of December, His Excellency Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia shall be crowned the President of Ghana,” he declared. The prophet emphasized the seriousness of his prediction, insisting it was not driven by emotion and urging his followers to check his prophetic track record.
Prophet Boateng concluded with a stern message about the destiny of the nation and the importance of personality in leadership. “At the end of the day, their problem is their personality. And if you don’t have a personality, you don’t have a personality,” he told his captivated audience.
The bold prophecy has sparked debate, with many questioning the implications of religious figures making political predictions in a volatile election climate.
