A self-described godson of the late Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo, Osebo the Zaraman, has made startling revelations about the late inventor’s alleged choice of successor amid growing tension within the Safo family.
The founder of Kristo Asafo Mission and Kantanka Automobiles, Apostle Kwadwo Safo, passed away on September 11, 2025, after decades of pioneering work in innovation, science, and spiritual leadership. His death was officially announced by his daughter and former Dome Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo, through a family statement.
However, the announcement has been followed by intense public speculation over who will succeed the revered inventor, with many pointing to a brewing power struggle between Sarah Adwoa Safo and her stepbrother, Kwadwo Safo Jnr, who has long been associated with Kantanka Automobiles’ leadership.
Fueling the debate further, the Safo family recently issued a statement cautioning the public against engaging with Kwadwo Safo Jnr in any official capacity regarding the late Apostle’s businesses or funeral arrangements.
“The family of the late Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo wishes to inform the general public that no individual, including Mr. Kwadwo Safo Jnr, has been authorized to act on behalf of the family in any transactions related to the businesses of the late Apostle or in connection with the organization of his funeral,” the statement read.
Amid this uncertainty, Osebo the Zaraman — who claims to have had a close relationship with the late inventor — has added a new twist to the succession conversation. Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, Osebo claimed that Apostle Safo chose his daughter, Adwoa Safo, as his rightful successor over two decades ago.
According to him, the Apostle symbolically handed over his leadership mantle to Adwoa Safo, expressing full confidence in her capabilities and spiritual strength.
“About twenty years ago, Apostle Safo said that he had taken off his footwear and handed it to his daughter, who is a queen — that is Adwoa,” Osebo revealed.
“He gave her his slippers. It’s a proverb, meaning he knew what she could do. I also believe that he had conversations with his daughter and gave her a lot of family information.”
Osebo’s comments have reignited discussions about who truly holds the right to lead Apostle Safo’s spiritual and industrial empire.
