Media personality Nana Yaa Brefo has responded to comments made by Head pastor of Alabaster International Ministry, Prophet Kofi Oduro, regarding Ayawaso East NDC aspirant Baba Jamal and allegations of vote buying.
Recently after the vote-buying allegations, Prophet Oduro, while preaching to his congregation, questioned Baba Jamal’s source of income.
He referenced an alleged figure of 2 million, raising concerns about where the politician obtained such funds.

In a sharp rebuttal, Nana Yaa Brefo took to social media to address the preacher, urging him to “get his facts right” before spreading what she described as misinformation.
“Prophet Oduro, don’t twist people’s words because he (Baba Jamal) did not mention anywhere that he gave GH¢2 million. I admit that vote buying has become a major issue during elections, but the problem here is that you are making it sound as though he gives GH¢2 million every year.
“What he said was that he sets aside GH¢2.5 million every year as an interest-free loan. Let’s not mix and twist words. Also, Baba Jamal isn’t a kid; for all you know, he may be older than you,” she said.
Yaa Brefo further noted that vote buying has long existed in Ghana’s political system and should not be portrayed as something new or unique to Baba Jamal.
“Vote buying did not start in Baba Jamal’s time. This has been happening for a long time. I am not saying it is a good thing. We have seen people gift cars during elections, among other things, so don’t make it look like something new is happening or that Baba Jamal is the one introducing it,” she added.

On February 7, 2026, during the National Democratic Congress (NDC) primaries in the constituency, videos surfaced capturing delegates displaying television sets and other items allegedly gifted by Baba Jamal.
When questioned by journalists, Baba Jamal defended himself, stating: “What is wrong with giving television sets to people? Is this the first time I am gifting things to people?
“Those who know me know that every Christmas I give gifts. I have even set aside GH¢2.5 million to lend to people. It is not vote buying. If someone gives you a gift, you can accept it, but allowing that gift to influence your vote is wrong.”
