After a seemingly quiet hiatus, the women of Aglow Ghana have made a grand return to the national stage, and their timing has raised a few eyebrows. Barely a week into John Dramani Mahama’s presidency, the Gifty Affenyi Dadzie-led fellowship dusted off their prayer mats and gathered at the Black Star Square, reigniting their monthly prayer sessions. But this return has sparked questions: is it a revival of spiritual purpose or a new chapter in political commentary?
The same group that went on a divine sabbatical during President Akufo-Addo’s tenure is suddenly back in action—with a vengeance. Or rather, with a Bible verse (Isaiah 40, for those keeping track). The question on everyone’s lips: Is this truly a holy mission, or just another case of political praise and worship?
Social media is ablaze with fiery questions about their miraculous resurrection. For a group that went mute under Nana Akufo-Addo’s reign—where they sang only hallelujahs—it’s curious how they’ve now rediscovered their voices (and their Bibles) under Mahama’s watch.
Once a genteel fellowship uplifting women and teenage girls, Aglow turned into a doom prophets during Mahama’s first term (2012–2016). Back then, every prayer meeting sounded more like a rally of divine disapproval. But when Nana Akufo-Addo walked into Jubilee House, their tone shifted faster than a gospel choir on double espresso—suddenly preaching positivity and national blessings.
Now, with Mahama back in charge, Aglow’s January prayer session has tongues wagging louder than a Sunday sermon. This time, the Isaiah 40-themed meeting called for divine guidance on “national discourse”—everything from fixing ECG to reintroducing public tribunals review of Free SHS. Sounds holy enough, right? But critics say it smells more like politics than prayer.
One outraged commentator didn’t mince words: “It’s like they’ve been waiting for Mahama to mess up just so they can start their sermons again. Why were they so quiet under Nana Addo? Something doesn’t add up!”
And they’re not alone. Netizens are speculating wildly. Has Mahama offended Gifty Affenyi Dadzie, or is this just a holy coincidence?
Meanwhile, Aglow insists their intentions are as pure as the angels. But Ghanaians aren’t buying it. “Empowering women and girls? More like empowering political propaganda!” snapped one angry social media user.
Divine intervention or strategic timing? One thing’s for sure: Aglow knows how to stir the pot. As one cheeky observer put it, “With Aglow around, who needs the opposition?”
The prayers might aim for heaven, but the drama is 100% earthly. Keep watching, Ghana—this holy soap opera is just warming up!
