The president of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah, has acknowledged that he will influence the results of the general elections in 2024.
Whoever wins the presidency in 2024, according to Ghana’s self-described “kingmaker,” will do so through him.
His most recent statement came shortly after he clarified last week an audio clip that went viral in which he was heard threatening law enforcement officials and politicians.
“Those audios on social media that people are thinking will bring Owusu Bempah down, that is laughable. I have said even harsher things. Everything I said of Victor Kusi Boateng is true, I have confronted him about it before.
“Look, whoever will be president will emanate from here, whether you like it or not, believe it or choose not to, I rest my case,” to cheers and applause from his congregation, he said.
The well-known man of God claimed to have mentored Reverend Kusi Boateng, Secretary of the National Cathedral Board, in the same sermon.
“A young man who through me God helped, Victor Kusi Boateng, then you are with Dampare and the Vice president and I am calling, because Chairman Wontumi asked me to call.
“When I am calling you as a friend and brother, I called more than 10 times and he didn’t pick. An insider informed me later that Victor said he won’t answer my call and that I should face my predicament but this is someone that I nurtured.
“I brought him up, Victor Kusi Boateng cannot deny that I nurtured him, that it was through me he first travelled, I said all that is contained in the recording, I don’t fear. I spoke to plenty people out of anger,” he emphasized.
