Former Member of Parliament for Bantama and past Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Environmental Protection Agency, Dr. Henry Kwabena Kokofu, has expressed unwavering confidence in Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s electoral success. Bawumia is the flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ghana’s upcoming 2024 general elections.
Dr. Kokofu’s comments follow a controversial prophecy by Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, Founder of the Glorious Word Power Ministry International, who declared that opposition leader John Dramani Mahama would lead Ghana’s next government.
During a special meeting with clergy, Rev. Owusu-Bempah laid hands on Mahama and proclaimed, “This is whom You [God] have elected to lead Ghana at a time like this. No power can stop it. It is through you that this country will see development.”
This pronouncement raised eyebrows, given Owusu-Bempah’s past alignment with the NPP and previous prophecies that favored the party.
However, Dr. Kokofu dismissed these prophecies, stating that the victory of Bawumia has already been sealed.
Dr. Kokofu drew parallels between the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, suggesting that just as Esau lost his birthright to Jacob, Mahama’s chance to lead has been lost to Bawumia.
He further emphasized, “So, the initial blessing has already been conferred on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.”
Speaking during an interview on the “Ade Akye Abia” Show, Dr. Kokofu maintained that no prophecy or force can reverse what he believes is Bawumia’s divinely ordained victory.
