A prophet who appeared in a viral video ahead of the 2024 general elections, leading some executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in taking an oath while holding a sword, has heavily criticized the party for neglecting him.
In that sword-wielding video, the former Director of Elections for the NDC, Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah, and other NDC officials were seen swearing allegiance to the party and pledging to protect it at all costs.
The video generated mixed reactions, with some members of the public expressing concerns that the content of the vow went too far.
In an interview on Neat FM, the prophet expressed his displeasure with the way the NDC had abandoned him, recounting how his life and that of his family were threatened after the video went viral.
“My life was in danger, and the lives of my family members were also at risk. The video, in which I led some NDC polling station executives and Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah to hold a sword and vow not to work against the party in 2024, put my life in jeopardy. I was on the National Security radar, and armed robbers came to my house looking for me, intending to kill me.
After the election victory, who in the NDC has called me to say, ‘Prophet, we have not forgotten about you—even if you are far away, we are coming over to thank you’? Who in the NDC doesn’t have my number? I can mention their names. Apart from Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah, who sent a message saying they had not forgotten about me, no one else has reached out—but that is not enough. I have seen what they have done; I have seen the churches they have visited to thank pastors.
The NDC should not be so ungrateful to me. Do you know the number of people who are mocking me? My junior pastors, with whom I worked to provide spiritual direction for the NDC to win the election, are calling me all the time, thinking the party has given me money and I have refused to share it with them. A good worker deserves his wages.”
Pastors lied to convinced their members to vote NDC.
Today, they regrets
