Prophet Kofi Oduro is the Senior Pastor of the Alabaster International Ministry
Senior Pastor of the Alabaster International Ministry, Prophet Kofi Oduro, has publicly admonished fellow pastors to stop engaging in political commentaries and endorsements from the pulpit.
According to him, the church’s focus should remain on spiritual matters rather than partisan politics.
His remarks were captured in a video circulating widely on social media and sighted by GhanaWeb on February 1, 2026, following the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries held on January 31.

In his sermon, Prophet Oduro said the clergy should stop using church platforms for political discourse.
He insisted that pastors would rather have a gospel to proclaim and souls to win, but such priorities, he argued, are being sidetracked by political involvements.
“Let’s stop this nonsense of helping these politicians. Let’s not use the pulpit for political nonsense. We have a gospel to preach. We have souls to win. We have a Christ to glorify,” he said.
Prophet Oduro added that many politicians in many cases exhibit little concern for spiritual values, questioning why pastors should give them undue attention.
“Most of these politicians are very disrespectful to God, very promiscuous, very adulterous, and most of them don’t care about God. Why do we have to care about them and give them so much attention?” he said.
He called on the clergy to return to what he described as their core mission, rather than turning church services into forums for political engagements.
The NPP’s presidential primaries election saw Dr Mahamudu Bawumia secure the party’s flagbearer position for the 2028 general elections.
Before the primaries, some prophets had made public predictions about the contest’s outcome.
Recently, Prophet Elbernard Nelson-Eshun, who had predicted that Kennedy Agyapong would win the primaries, took to Facebook to apologise and declared that he would be taking a break from public prophecies.
