Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah, founder and leader of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, has denied Chairman Wontumi’s recent allegation that he anointed Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the next President.
Bernard Antwi Boasiako, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, claimed that he was present when Dr. Bawumia visited Owusu Bempah’s residence, where the pastor supposedly anointed him to win the presidency.
Chairman Wontumi made this claim last week on his radio station, Wontumi FM, based in Kumasi.
In response, Owusu Bempah strongly refuted the claim, calling it false and dismissing it as an untrue account.
During a sermon on Sunday, October 13, he told his congregation that such a meeting never occurred.
“He claims he came to my house with the Vice President and that I anointed Bawumia and said he was going to be the next President, but that is completely false. Even Bawumia himself knows Wontumi is not telling the truth,” he told the congregation.
Owusu Bempah also responded to Wontumi’s claim, disputing the challenge that he cannot step foot in Kumasi following his recent prophecy that former President John Mahama will be the next President.
“I am a Bantama boy so the other day Chairman Wontumi said I couldn’t step foot in Kumasi, he was very funny to me. When I was living in Kumasi, Wontumi was just a young boy.”
