A heated public feud has erupted between outspoken New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman Kwame Baffoe popularly called Abronye DC and clergyman Prophet Roja, following allegations of inconsistent and “fake” prophecies surrounding the National Democratic Congress (NDC) internal politics.
The latest controversy, which has stirred widespread reactions across Ghana’s political and religious landscape, was triggered during an April 6, 2026 broadcast of The Evidence Show on Ohia TV.
Abronye DC used the platform to present what he described as evidence of contradictions in Prophet Roja’s prophetic declarations about the NDC’s yet-to-be-held primary.
According to the NPP communicator, a video from a 2025 interview on Angel FM captured Prophet Roja confidently predicting that Asiedu Nketiah would likely emerge as the party’s flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.
However, in a separate 2026 interview on Onua TV, the same pastor appeared to reverse course, stating that he could not offer any prophecy about the NDC race, while only extending pleasantries to Julius Debrah, another potential contender.
Abronye DC seized on the apparent contradiction, branding Prophet Roja as a “false prophet” and warning that such inconsistencies are gradually eroding public trust in religious leaders.
He argued that the growing trend of questionable prophecies has made many Ghanaians skeptical about spiritual declarations, particularly those tied to political outcomes.
“This is how people lose faith in prophecy,” Abronye DC suggested, positioning Prophet Roja as part of a larger problem within Ghana’s prophetic space.
However, Prophet Roja has forcefully rejected the accusations.
Speaking in a rebuttal on Adom FM, the clergyman described Abronye DC as hypocritical, insisting that his prophecies have not been false but rather misunderstood or selectively interpreted.
He pointed to his widely publicised prediction of Mahamudu Bawumia emerging as the NPP’s flagbearer—an outcome he claims validates his prophetic credibility.
According to Prophet Roja, the same political figures who now question his authenticity were quick to celebrate him when his prophecy aligned with their political interests.
His sharp response suggests a deeper frustration with what he perceives as selective criticism driven by political convenience.
In a symbolic remark, the pastor cautioned critics against abandoning what once guided them, likening their actions to “throwing away a walking stick after regaining sight.”
The controversy is further complicated by earlier allegations from Abronye DC, who accused the pastor of demanding $1.5 million in exchange for delivering a prophecy for a political figure.
Although the claim remains unverified, it has intensified scrutiny on Prophet Roja and fueled ongoing debates about the monetisation of prophecy in Ghana.
Public reaction has been mixed. While some Ghanaians have rallied behind Prophet Roja, defending his spiritual authority and dismissing the criticism as politically motivated, others have backed Abronye DC’s call for accountability, arguing that prophets who make public declarations—especially on national matters—must be subjected to scrutiny.
