NPP Primaries: I saw Dr. Bawumia rejoicing with party's flag but senior member took it away from him – Pastor

The General Overseer of the Paradise Way Chapel, Rev. Sunshine Anaba Adam has disclosed that in a vision, he saw Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia jubilating with the flag of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) but somebody of a superior status in the party took it away from him.

According to the prophet, there is a spiritual direction that Dr. Bawumia should comply with in order to affirm his victory ahead of the NPP presidential primaries slated for November.

He admonished the vice president and his campaign team against complacency and urged them to work assiduously to hold onto the overwhelming victory recorded during the super delegates conference.

Speaking in an interview with 3FM on August 27, 2023, Rev. Sunshine Anaba Adam narrated how Dr. Bawumia could lose the slot to become the flagbearer of the NPP despite his convincing win.

“I saw Dr. Baumia lift up the [NPP] flag and rejoice with so many of the NPP delegates. But some of the seniors, like they call super delegates, wrestled with him and they took the flag from him. And I want to say this emphatically, that there is a direction that Dr. Bawumia has to do," he revealed.

“I spoke to one of the ministers of state to call him and tell him if we can continue to seek God in that direction, trust me, you will hear that by the end of this election, you will hear him leading. But if he's not careful, if he and his people don't fight strongly, trust me, he will be on the winning side where everybody will know and think that he's winning. But by the time they count the result, somebody else will take it" the pastor added.

The General overseer of the Paradise Way Chapel further indicated that he did not see anything about Kennedy Agyapong but his endorsement will be crucial should there be a run-off between Alan Kyerematen and Dr. Bawumia in the presidential primaries.

“Don't forget the winning. If I'm honest with you today, there is a grace of, if you like, leadership in this time of our lives that has been also deposited in Kennedy Agyapong. Eventually what I saw was that any of them whose Kennedy will support that is Alan Cash or Bawumia were going to take it, but as for Kennedy himself, I did not get it,” he added.
