Reverend Francis Nana Agyei Antwi, popularly known as Rev. Obofour
In a subtle endorsement, the charismatic leader of Anointed Palace Chapel (APC) Worldwide, Reverend Francis Nana Agyei Antwi, popularly known as Rev. Obofour, has declared that John Dramani Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, returning as president is “not a taboo.”
Rev. Obofour made his remarks during a fellowship meeting with Mahama on October 1, 2024, where he expressed his support for the former president’s potential comeback. The meeting served as a platform for spiritual engagement and dialogue on pressing national issues.
“Coming back to lead the country is not a taboo,” Rev. Obofour asserted, highlighting Mahama’s familiarity with the Ghanaian people. “Ghanaians already know him, and that’s important.”
Gratitude was in the air as Rev. Obofour thanked Mahama for the opportunity to engage with him, noting this wasn’t their first meeting. “This is not merely a request for something from God’s people. I am an Akan and a Ghanaian, and returning to the old isn’t a bad idea,” he added.
After a heartfelt prayer session, the influential pastor posed three critical questions to Mahama, aiming to shed light on vital issues affecting Ghanaians.
Rev. Obofour urged Mahama to address the skyrocketing prices of essential building materials such as cement and iron rods. “Everyone dreams of building, but we haven’t heard anything about cement prices during campaigns. What will you do about it?” he pressed.
The cleric also highlighted the economic challenges, questioning Mahama on his plans to stabilize the faltering Ghanaian cedi against the dollar. “Now the dollar is speaking a different language. What measures will you put in place when you win power?” he asked.
Finally, Rev. Obofour raised concerns over soaring public transport fares, reminding Mahama of the struggles ordinary Ghanaians face. “People used to buy porridge with the coins left after boarding a trotro, but now fares are through the roof. What will you do about it?”
He concluded by encouraging Mahama to maintain open lines of communication with the clergy if he returns to power, signaling the importance of collaboration between faith leaders and the government in addressing national issues.
As the 2024 elections approach, Rev. Obofour’s remarks have reignited discussions around Mahama’s potential return, with many eager to see how the former president plans to tackle the pressing concerns raised by the influential pastor.
