He described such prophets as charlatans, reminding them that Ghana is a democratic state and not a theocratic one.

He said those calling themselves prophetic pastors should allow state institutions to work and not hijack democracy.

Apostle Badu-Woode further stated that the will and choice of God for a leader would manifest through the pattern of voting and not from pastors, especially those claiming God has revealed to them who would lead Ghana.

He said such pastors should stop manipulating politicians by saying God has revealed to them and that they should allow the Lord to speak through the ballot adding that voting is a divine way that God appoints his leaders because God is democratic.

He said such prophecies put fear in the people adding that any calling without listening leads to disaster.
