'Prophecies or No Prophecies': We will take the right decisions to reset the country - Asiedu Nketia

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has stated that the NDC government remains committed to resetting the country despite the growing number of prophecies predicting doom for the nation.

His comments come in the wake of messages and prophecies from some religious figures circulating on social media, warning of more gloomy events.

Speaking to the media on August 13, 2025, Nketia called on traditional leaders to remain resolute, dismissing the fear such messages aim to create.

He emphasised that despite the prophecies, the party is steadfast in supporting the government to turn around its fortunes.

"You've all heard about various prophecies, some claiming to play the role of God and others threatening our leadership that more calamities are on the way unless certain things are done. My belief is that what will happen will happen, and we won't be deterred from taking necessary decisions to restore this country," he stated.

These prophecies and warnings from some religious leaders have been circulating on social media, particularly following the tragic helicopter crash on August 6, 2025, in Adansi Sikaman, which claimed the lives of eight gallant men on an anti-galamsey mission.

Asiedu Nketia urged traditional rulers to rally behind President John Dramani Mahama, expressing confidence in the president's ability to stand firm amid the prophetic pressure.

"I know our chiefs are rallying around His Excellency the President, and I know he will continue to be emboldened to take the right decisions to reset this country, whether there are prophecies or no prophecies," he said.

He also called for deeper reflection and unity, encouraging citizens to view current events as a test of faith and to draw strength to move forward.

"Let's use this moment as a solemn occasion to find out what went wrong. There's nothing shameful about our culture; let's do honour to it," he added.
