Claim: An Accra-based radio station, Wontumi TV/Radio, alleged that the Chief Imam had prophesied he would enstool a Muslim president before he died.

Source: Wontumi TV/Radio

Verdict: False

Explanation: There is no evidence to support the claim that the Chief Imam had prophesied that he would enstool a Muslim president. Sheikh Aremeyaw Shaibu, the Chief Imam’s spokesperson, has refuted the claim. “He has never prophesied that Ghana will have a Muslim president.

The media house is politically inclined, and they want to say things that will favour themselves,” he told the Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition in a call to verify the claim. When the coalition conducted a Google keyword search, we found no news report online to support the claim.
