A group calling itself Action Movement for Bawumia has issued a stern warning to the leader of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Rev Owusu Bempah.
The Pro-Bawumia group accused Rev Owusu Bempah of engaging in “pulpit blackmail and extortion” to solicit favours from the NPP and its flagbearer.
According to the pro-Bawumia group, Rev Owusu Bempah must stop his attacks on New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, or he will face their response.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, the group stated, “REVEREND OWUSU BEMPAH ENGAGES IN CALCULATED PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PULPIT BLACKMAIL AGAINST DR MAHAMUDU BAWUMIA AND THE NPP
Reverend Owusu Bempah has of late developed a despicable habit of using his pulpit almost every Sunday in his church to attack Dr Bawumia for no tangible reason. We, the admirers of Dr Bawumia, advise you to be very careful with your callous attacks on the person of Dr Bawumia.
We, the admirers of Dr Bawumia, consider the attacks by Reverend Owusu Bempah on the person of Dr Bawumia as psychological and pulpit blackmail intended to solicit unknown favours from the NPP and its Flagbearer. Reverend Owusu Bempah is trying very hard to force religious discussions into Dr Bawumia’s presidential bid for the 2028 elections.
We advise Rev. Owusu Bempah not to start a problem he cannot handle when it finally gets out of hand. We know you have problems with the former IGP Dampare, who had you arrested and arraigned before court when you had issues with Agrada. Do not extend your personal problems with IGP Dampare to the innocent Dr Bawumia.
If you want to be respected as a pastor, you must bear in mind that Dr Bawumia has admirers and supporters across the country and beyond. We consider your constant attacks on Dr Bawumia a despicable attitude unbecoming of a man of God.
Please, Rev. Owusu Bempah, do not start what you cannot handle. You must re-examine your recent despicable attitude regarding how you unfairly attack Dr Bawumia in your church almost every Sunday. You are using the holy pulpit to blackmail an innocent man who has done you no wrong.
Please, Rev. Owusu Bempah, desist from the unwarranted, consistent bigotry and psychological blackmail directed at Dr Bawumia, in the interest of the peace and religious cohesion Ghana currently enjoys. It appears you are seriously prejudiced and obsessed with your attacks on Dr Bawumia.
A word to the wise should be enough. You must yield to good counsel.
Issued by the Action Movement for Bawumia”
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ashanti Regional Youth Wing has dragged the founder and leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministry, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, to the National Security, Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and Inspector-General of Police.
The NPP Youth Wing petitioned the three agencies to investigate Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah over allegations he made against some leading figures of the party, particularly Dr Nana Ayew Afriye.
In the petition, the NPP Youth Wing indicated, “Prophet Owusu-Bempah has publicly alleged that Dr Nana Ayew Afriye planned to mobilise the NPP Nasara Wing to attack him and his church, on account of prophecies he has made concerning the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia.
These are grave allegations that, in effect, accuse our Patron of orchestrating or conspiring to commit acts of violence and criminality”.
“We are appalled by these allegations, which we consider wicked, false and entirely without foundation. Dr Ayew Afriye is known to us, and to the general public, as an affable, disciplined and peace-loving leader who has, on numerous occasions, exercised restraint even in the face of considerable provocation.
At no time has he issued any instruction, directive or encouragement to this Youth Wing, or to any other person or group, to attack Prophet Owusu Bempah, his church, or any of its members,” part of the petition reads.
The NPP youth also accused Rev Owusu-Bempah of using his pulpit as a political tool to attack the flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
The NPP youth wing is demanding: “Investigate the allegations made by Prophet Isaac Owusu Bempah and establish whether there is any factual basis for his claims;
Invite Prophet Owusu Bempah to substantiate, with evidence, his claim that Dr Ayew Afriye planned or mobilised any group to attack him or his church;
Take appropriate action, in accordance with the law, should the allegations be found to be false and made with the intent to incite public disaffection, cause fear and panic, or injure the reputation of our Patron; and
Ensure the personal safety of Dr Ayew Afriye, who may be exposed to public hostility or reprisal as a result of these unsubstantiated claims”.
