Rev Owusu-Bempah (L) takes subtle swipe at former President Akufo-Addo (R)
The founder and leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempeh, had nothing but praise for President John Dramani Mahama while speaking to his congregation on Sunday, January 4, 2025.
He said that he would continue to pray for Mahama so that he can continue the good works he has started, which every Ghanaian can attest to.
He asserted that the thing he admires about Mahama the most is the president's humility, citing a viral video of him (Mahama) sitting among the worshippers at his church.
“When I speak about the president, please understand why I do so. When you go before the Lord, pray for the president of Ghana, and continue to do the good works without blemish, spotless. I admire his humility, the way he does things, and the way he talks.
“He went to church, and when he got there, there was a presidential seat reserved for the seat he and his wife were supposed to sit on. But when he went there, he didn't go and sit on that chair. He didn't sit in the midst of the elders or pastors… He's the president of Ghana, but he sat in the congregation like any member of the church,” Owusu-Bempah said in the Twi dialect.
He then went on to take a subtle jab at the former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, saying that Mahama would never order people to stand up before they could greet him.
“This is what we call humility. He does not make himself or think of himself more highly than he ought to. He wouldn't say to you, ‘stand on your feet before you greet me,’” he said.
Even though Owusu-Bempah did not directly mention Akufo-Addo’s name, the former president was heavily criticised for ordering some traditional rulers to stand before greeting him at public events while he was in office.
