0

The founder and leader of Regin House Chapel, Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, popularly known as Prophet Uche, 2026 prophecy concerning a vacancy in Parliament has resurfaced amid Ayawaso East MP’s death.

 In a viral video shared on social media, Prophet Uche, speaking at his church’s Watch Night Service on December 31, 2025, revealed there was going to be a vacant seat in the Parliament of Ghana.

Prophet Uche in the video stated, “Last year, I said we should pray for our Parliament. For 2026, we should pray for our Parliament again. There is a vacant seat in the Parliament House again.

“I projected all the people I have in Parliament. Those of you who have relatives in Parliament, let us pray for them. If you know someone in Parliament, dip that person into the blood of Jesus because two seats will become vacant. There will be two by-elections in Parliament,” he said.

The video has resurfaced following the death of Naser Toure Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Ayawaso East.

Reports suggest the NDC MP passed away at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital after a period of illness.

According to multiple sources, Naser Toure Mahama is said to have died on Sunday, January 4, 2026, in the afternoon.

The late Naser Toure Mahama was a fourth-term MP and held several key roles in Parliament.

He served as Vice Chairman of the Energy Committee, and a member on the Roads and Transport Committee, the House Committee, and the Private Members’ Bills and Motions Committee.

Richard Acheampong, the Second Deputy Majority Whip, has revealed that the late Ayawaso East is expected to be laid to rest today in accordance with Muslim tradition at his residence in Nima, Accra.

Meanwhile, Yussif Jajah, the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso North, has eulogised the late Ayawaso East Member of Parliament Naser Toure Mahama for leaving a very big mark.

According to Yussif Jajah, the late Naser Toure Mahama inspired many young politicians, including himself, to get into parliament.

He recounted a community initiative championed by the late MP, the “Operation Cement Your Lungu,” which mobilised residents to improve sanitation and infrastructure in underserved neighbourhoods.

Speaking to the media at the late MP’s residence, Mr Jajah stated, “In fact, within his first time in Parliament from 2010 to 2016, he did a lot that inspired some of us to also campaign to get to Parliament in 2017,” he said.

“I think he’s left a very big mark. Whoever takes over from him must be fully prepared to continue and build on what he started,” he added.

“Talking rubbish, who are you?” – NDC man blasts Fifi Kwetey over Mahama’s 3rd term brouhaha 

0

Yakubu Tony Aidoo, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has launched a missile at the party’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey.

Speaking in a viral video circulating on social media on January 3, 2026, Yakubu Tony Aidoo accused the NDC General Secretary of disrespecting party supporters.

It will be recalled that during the NDC’s 31st December Revolution at Ada Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, fired NDC members calling for a third term for President John Dramani Mahama.

According to Fifi Kwetey, those calling for a third term for President Mahama are sycophants and boot lickers who are only singing his praises to gain favour from him.

He stressed that those people are only singing the praises of Mahama as the only way they can survive.

Speaking at NDC’s 31st December Revolution at Ada, the General Secretary fumed, “These days, it saddens me when I see so much sycophancy creeping into our party.

“I see a group of people who, obviously, from every indication, believe that singing the praises of a leader is the only way they can survive”.

And that’s why you hear some of those people even urging statements like there should be a 3rd term. It says nothing but sycophancy, pure sycophancy and boot licking of the highest order”.

Fifi Kwetey noted that even Jerry Rawlings, who was the founder of the NDC, was never urged by anybody to go for any 3rd term

“Jerry Rawlings, who was the founder of this party, never, at any point, was urged by anybody to go for any 3rd term. You have a bunch of sycophants who today think that all they need to do is sing praises and hope that somehow those praises will get them some opportunities that they are looking for”.

“You don’t love our country, you don’t love our party. If you do, you will not be such sycophants. It’s important for us to appreciate that this party was grounded in the need to work for our people. We say cadres may go; cadres may come, but the revolution has come to stay. That simply means it is not about individuals. It’s about us as a collective,” he said.

Reacting to the NDC’s General Secretary’s remarks, Yakubu Tony Aidoo fired him for talking rubbish.

He stated, “Talking rubbish, talking rubbish, rubbish. I sold my Land Cruiser to support the party. Who are you? Fiifi Kwetey, who are you?”

“Today or tomorrow, I will read the constitution so Ghanaians will know that we, the scrap dealers in the region, can read and understand the constitution,” he said.

“Who are you? How dare you to insult us? Fifi Kwetey. Fifi Kwetey, I’m talking to you. How dare you to insult us? Sycophant. You are the leader of Sycophants, you are a greedy Fifi Kwetey,” he indicated.

He declared, “Go and write a letter to drive me out of the party. I will make sure Fifi Kwetey loses his national election”.

“I will support President Mahama for his third term tomorrow. I will support President Mahama’s third term today. If you like, when you come, cut my head. I don’t fear you,” he said.

Meanwhile, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey had already reiterated the party’s position, dismissing claims of a third-term agenda for President John Dramani Mahama.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s Face to Face on Tuesday, December 16, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey highlighted that the NDC is committed to Ghana’s constitutional order and democratic principles.

“How can you parade Bawumia? Who helped Akufo-Addo unleash terror on us” – Kpebu quizzes NPP

0

Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has quizzed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on how they could parade the former vice president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as one of their candidates ahead of their primaries.

According to Lawyer Kpebu, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia helped former president Akufo-Addo unleash terror on Ghanaians.

He stressed that Dr Bawumia is deeply tainted by the economic and governance decisions of the Akufo-Addo era.

Lawyer Kpebu highlighted that on what record is Dr Bawumia going to campaign on after years of Ghanaians going through hardship under the Akufo-Addo Bawumia administration.

Speaking on The Key Point on Saturday, January 3, Martin Kpebu stated, “This whole range of candidates, it tells me one thing: the NPP is not ready for the 2028 election. They are not ready. This is the tone-deaf attitude that got them into opposition in the first place.

How can you parade Bawumia? Bawumia, who is a feather with Akufo-Addo? Such a man who helped Akufo-Addo to unleash terror on us, economic doldrums, right? Haircuts, left-right-centre. When… where is he going to get a better record to campaign? You have to bring somebody who is not tainted,” he said.

He added, “When it comes to Kennedy Agyapong, you know, he lacks the temperament and everything to be president, so we’ll not waste any more time on that,” he added.

“Bryan Acheampong, who wanted to take our hotels for a song. Bryan Acheampong wanted to take our hotels for a song, but for the leadership of Okudzeto, who mobilised Ghanaians. He will loot us dry. Bryan Acheampong will loot us dry,” he stated.

“He’s a good guy, but when you’re looking for a president, there must be that spark. He has not postured himself as someone who can be the father of the nation,” he said.

“Kwabena Agyapong, I have nothing to say that particularly. It’s just that his time is gone, that’s it,” he stated.

“They should bring the youngster, bring Boamah, so that he will contest 2028, lose, and then by 2032 everyone will say, ‘Yes, now he’s ripe,’” he stated.

Meanwhile, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has boldly declared that the party under his leadership will come back to power after the 2028 election.

Dr Bawumia made this bold declaration during an interview on Spear FM in Damongo, during his campaign tour of the Savannah Region.

The NPP flagbearer aspirant stated, “I believe that this party, the NPP, under my leadership, will come back to power after the 2028 election. We are going to work hard for them and work hard for the people of Ghana. I want them to have their trust in me, and I will deliver victory in 2028, by the grace of God”.

He further called NPP Damongo delegates not to vote for him because he is from the north.

According to Dr Bawumia, the NPP Damongo delegates should vote for him based on his track record, competence, integrity and vision.

He urged the North and NPP delegates to vote based on his leadership qualities.

The former vice president added, “I’m asking for the support of our NPP delegates. I’m campaigning, that’s why I’m in the region. I’m asking for their support on January 31st, that they should look at voting for me on the basis, not that because I’m from the north; we don’t vote on that.”

“They should vote for me on the basis of my track record, of my competence, of my integrity and of the vision that I have for the country and of the experience.

He added, “Under Akufo-Addo, I’ve been adjudged by many people to be the most effective Vice President in the history of this country – a big acknowledgement of the track record of what I have done.”

“And I want the delegates to help me to be one of the most effective Presidents in the history of the country, so I need their support, and I’m asking for their support on January 31.”

“Persons who have swallowed our riches must be made to vomit” – Agyinasare to Mahama gov’t 

0

Archbishop Charles Agyinasare has urged the John Mahama-led government to make sure that persons who looted state resources are not left unpunished.

According to Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, although the Mahama government has ushered in fresh hope for renewal and reform, no accused person has been tried and jailed after a year.

Speaking to his congregation on 31st December 2025, Watch-night Agyinasare quoted Ecclesiastes 8:11 to drive home the need to punish criminals. “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore, the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”

He lamented, “In one year of the NDC government, not many have been tried and jailed yet, even though there was so much campaigning on dealing with corruption. We must turn around and insist that punishment meets wrongdoing and those who have swallowed our riches must be made to vomit.”

The man of God added, “AI analysis reflects a common Ghanaian perception: politics is seen as a route to personal enrichment—procurement scandals, weak accountability, and a ‘soli’ culture of cash handouts, especially during elections.”

“The way some politicians are enriching themselves before the ordinary citizens very soon we would have more politicians than citizens because everyone would want to be a politician.”

Agyinasare further expressed frustration that the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament saying, “regularly exposes appointees and politically exposed individuals who cause financial loss to the nation,” but “Often, nothing happens, or at best, they receive a mere slap on the wrist.”

“The youth see people enter public office and suddenly own eight houses in four years,” Archbishop Agyinasare said.

He added, “the youth are no longer committed to democracy; they want governments that secure their future,” recalling: “During HE John Mahama’s inauguration, the visiting President who received the loudest applause was Captain Traoré of Burkina Faso. In fact, he is the ideal head of state for most African youth because they think he is helping his people, not looting from them.”

“Just four weeks ago in Benin, an attempted coup occurred—one day after my return from ministering there,” he noted.

Agyinasare further stressed that political corruption is pushing the youth into corruption “How can someone be caught in an alleged romance scam, and our youth go on demonstration? They claim he is their role model. It means once you have money, people don’t care how you got it. We must turn around.”

 “Masons building people’s houses steal the cement, those who work with the iron rods steal them, electricians steal cables from their site, storekeepers steal their masters”, he added.

The man of God added,  “As ministers and believers, we must live above reproach, refusing compromise and corruption in every form—financially, sexually, relationally, and in leadership. We must turn away from covetousness that leads people to steal—from communities, schools, shops, churches—and yet see culprits jailed for years while others go free.”

Also, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, has urged Ghanaians to pray that President John Mahama does not fail.

According to Ntim Fordjour,  a president must not fail before another person takes power from him.

He stressed that Ghana’s prayer is that the country must succeed, whichever political party one belongs to.

Rev John Ntim Fordjour, during a church service, leading a prayer session, stated, “Our prayer is that Ghana must succeed. Our prayer is that President Mahama must not fail. Whatever political party you belong to, let this be your prayer, because the President must not fail before another takes over from him”.

“Spiritual fraudsters” – Nana Aba tackles GH prophets over doom prophecies

0

Nana Aba Anamoah, a Ghanaian media personality, has tackled some Ghanaian prophets following their doom prophecies made during the 31st December crossover services.

The media personality described the Prophets as Spiritual fraudsters parading as Prophets.

According to Nana Aba, if the Prophets are good, they should prophesy doom for their family members and stop causing fear for the innocent.

In a post shared on X on January 3, 2025, Nana Aba, “Spiritual fraudsters parading as Prophets.

If you’re so good, go prophesy doom for your uncles, aunties and Abusua Payins and stop causing fear and panic for innocent people”.

Nana Aba Anamoah, in another post, highlighted that GH Prophets are always chasing clout on their pulpit with celebrity names and public figures.

He added, “If your prophecy needs a celebrity name to trend, it is clout chasing on a pulpit.

Any ‘Prophet’ who feeds on doom, fear, and public figures is not speaking for God.

God does not whisper revelations to people who weaponise the pulpit for relevance.

Seek help. You’re not well”.

Her remarks follow recent prophecies by several Ghanaian prophets, including Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah, Bishop Daniel Obinim, Fire Oja, Prophet Eric Uche Boahen, Prophet Roja and others.

Bishop Daniel Obinim, the Founder and Leader of the International God’s Way Church, has announced a revelation he claimed to have received about Ghana’s former President John Agyekum Kufuor.

According to Bishop Daniel Obinim, in his vision, he saw former President Kufuor waving at him in a vision with a large crowd gathered.

Speaking during the 2025 31st Night Service, Bishop Daniel Obinim stated, “I saw former President Kufuor waving at me in a vision. I only shared this with one person. In that vision, there was a large gathering, and he was waving at us. Suddenly, the whole place became dark”.

‎”I did not realise I had this prophetic gift earlier, otherwise I would have spoken about it last week,” he added.

‎“Since he is from my wife’s hometown, I have fasted for two days for him. I believe he will be safe, because when he dies it will affect me,” Obinim added.

Also, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, the Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, has warned Ghanaians to pray to avert the death of the country’s former president.

The man of God prophesied that some persons who have led Ghana before are going to die in 2026.

He warned that if former leaders do not heed the prophetic warnings, the prophecies will come to pass.

According to Rev Owusu Bempah, Ghanaians must pray for former leaders who have previously ruled Ghana to prevent calamities.

Speaking to his congregation during his 31st Watch Night service about events to expect in 2026, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah prophecied, saying, “Those who have once ruled Ghana, let us remember them when we pray, or else it will not be just one event that will happen.

Those who this prophecy concerns must not rebel against this prophecy, but let them deal with it in prayer or else it will happen, and it will shock Ghanaians, and Ghanaians will say Prophet Owusu Bempah said it”.

He further urged, “let pray about this calamity, someone who has ruled Ghana as a president that person wouldn’t lose his life this year. Let’s take this seriously”.

“If you like cut my head, I will support Mahama for a third term” – NDC’s Yakubu Aidoo

0

Yakubu Tony Aidoo, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has boldly declared he will support President John Mahama’s third-term bid even if his head is cut off.

Speaking in a viral video, Yakubu Tony Aidoo slammed the NDC’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, for describing members pushing President Mahama for a third term as sycophants and boot lickers.

Reacting to the NDC’s General Secretary’s remarks, Yakubu Tony Aidoo fired him for talking rubbish.

He stated, “Talking rubbish, talking rubbish, rubbish. I sold my Land Cruiser to support the party. Who are you? Fiifi Kwetey, who are you?”

“Today or tomorrow, I will read the constitution so Ghanaians will know that we, the scrap dealers in the region, can read and understand the constitution,” he said.

“Who are you? How dare you to insult us? Fifi Kwetey. Fifi Kwetey, I’m talking to you. How dare you to insult us? Sycophant. You are the leader of Sycophants, you are a greedy Fifi Kwetey,” he indicated.

He declared, “Go and write a letter to drive me out of the party. I will make sure Fifi Kwetey loses his national election”.

“I will support President Mahama for his third term tomorrow. I will support President Mahama’s third term today. If you like, when you come, cut my head. I don’t fear you,” he said.

Meanwhile, Veteran broadcaster Kwesi Pratt has cautioned the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that they will be handing the opposition NPP a bonanza if they keep pushing a third-term agenda.

According to Kwesi Pratt, the NPP is in tatters, but the NDC’s third-term agenda will revive the NPP very quickly and enhance its chances. 

Speaking on Good Morning Ghana, Kwesi Pratt stated, “How can we as a people, 35 million people, come to the conclusion that there is only one person who can lead us out of 35 million? That is an insult to the population.

 To make the general preposition that for us long us that person is alive, he is the only person capable of leading”. 

He further replied to the Majority leader in parliament, who claimed Ghanaians are calling for President Mahama to run for a third term.

“I wish he would have learnt a little more history, he would have thought twice because Ghana’s history clearly shows that it is an adventure that could lead to very dangerous consequences”, Kwesi Pratt noted.

He further explained, “If you look at our history, one of our most popular leaders was General Acheampong. Don’t forget when Gen Acheampong was being shot at the Teshie range, he was being shot to public applauds what did he do wrong? Study that history.

People should be careful about what they advocate and what they wish. I have told some of my friends that today the NPP appears to be in tatters, and the NPP would revive itself very quickly and enhance its chances of coming back to power if this third-term bid is pushed. It will be a bonanza for the NPP if they like, they should try it”.

Kwesi Pratt further highlighted that, fortunately for the NDC president, Mahama has already come out to say he is not interested, and the NDC has also stressed they are not going to support any third-term bid.

“Fortunaetely the president himself has said he is not interested and fortunately, the leadership of NDC has also comeout to say they will not support a third-term bid so it is clear those who are still clamouring for a third-term bid should learn from our history”, he added.

“Sammy Gyamfi’s work at GoldBod will take another person 5 years to accomplish” – Ato Forson

0

Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, Ghana’s Minister for Finance, has praised the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi.

The Finance Minister stressed that the work Sammy Gyamfi has done at GoldBod will take another person 5 years to accomplish.

According to Ato Forson, the Ghana Gold Board has played a central role in the ongoing stabilisation of the Ghanaian economy.

Speaking in an interview with Radio Gold, Dr Forson stated, “I had to tackle inflation, and I had to tackle structural issues like how we build reserves to make sure the currency stabilises,”

“It is difficult to get such people around. You need someone with energy, drive, determination and a can-do spirit. You need to study people to know who can deliver, and we believe the President made the right choice.”

“To be honest, the kind of work Sammy Gyamfi has done at GoldBod in the last few months, it will take somebody five years to do, and I salute him for that,” he eulogised.

Dr Forson added, “The coordination we have done is working for us. The structural changes we have made, working together with the Central Bank, are yielding results. Today, you can see that the economy is doing well. It is a combination of effort.”

“There is no way we could have achieved even a quarter of what we have achieved without the support of the President,” Dr Forson said.

Meanwhile, Dr Emmanuel Steve Asare Manteaw, a Policy analyst and communication strategist, has claimed that all the attacks on GoldBod are because of the Chief Executive Officer, Sammy Gyamfi.

According to Dr Manteaw, the brouhaha around GoldBod is politically motivated and rooted in personal attacks against Sammy Gyamfi.

Dr Manteaw stressed that if anyone else were put in charge of the affairs of the Goldbod, all the noise would be gone.

He further urged Sammy Gyamfi not to be distracted by the few people making so much noise as he has the full support of the majority of Ghanaians.

Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana, Dr Manteaw stated, “He sounded a bit frustrated with what appears to be an attempt to demonise the institution”.

“I think the attack on the GoldBod is all because of Sammy Gyamfi. If you put another person there, all this noise will stop,” he stated.

He added, “It can be frustrating when you are doing something with the best of intentions, and you find people trying to distract you from your mission”.

“He’s a very smart guy. He’s doing a good job. He should remain focused. He’s got the majority of Ghanaians behind him and should not be distracted by the very few people making so much noise,” he added.

Watch Prophet Amoako Atta’s resurfaced prophecy on Venezuela President Maduro

0

The Founder of Parliament Chapel International, Prophet Francis Amoako Atta, prophecy regarding the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, has resurfaced following his capture by the United States.

In the viral resurfaced prophecy, Prophet Francis Amoako Atta predicted that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro could face exile or be overthrown if care is not taken.

According to Prophet Francis Amoako Atta, the Venezuelan President should consider going into exile or risk being overthrown.

Speaking during his sermon, Amoako Atta cautioned, “… What I told him in the spiritual realm was to be very careful, because those who are pushing you today will betray you one day. If care is not taken, it is either you go into exile or be overthrown”.

The video has resurfaced following President Donald Trump announcing that the US has carried out a large-scale strike on the capital city of Caracas, capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

According to President Trump, the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country.

Donald Trump, in a post, stated, “ The United States of America has successfully carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela and its leader,  President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country.

This operation was done in conjunction with the U.S. Law Enforcement”.

The post further revealed, “Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M, at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J. Trump”.

Meanwhile, reports from CNN have earlier revealed several explosions in Caracas and reported that some areas of the city were without electricity.

CNN stated, “The first blast was recorded at approximately 1.50 AM local time on Saturday (0.50 AM ET).

Trump has repeatedly warned that the US is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela.

The Venezuelan Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino López had earlier said the US attack on Saturday impacted urban areas across Venezuela, with missiles and rockets fired from American combat helicopters.

He said Venezuela is currently gathering information about the number of people killed and wounded, and confirmed the Fort Tiuna military installation in Caracas was attacked.

Lopez insisted the country would resist the presence of foreign troops in the country”.

“This invasion represents the greatest outrage the country has suffered,” he added.

Reports emerging around this situation suggests the US has, for years, accused Nicolas Maduro of “drug trafficking and narco-terrorism — linking him to criminal networks that export illegal drugs, especially fentanyl, into the United States; corruption and repression — claiming his government is illegitimate, unfairly rigged elections, and has jailed political opponents; threat to US security and regional stability — including designating Venezuelan criminal organizations as foreign terrorist groups”.

“The US Justice Department previously indicted Maduro on federal charges, and the Trump administration offered a reward of up to $50 million for information leading to his arrest”.

“How do we dissect the dawn operation” – Sam George on US capture of Venezuelan president and wife

0

Sam Nartey George, the Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, has waded in on the US military operation in Venezuela, which led to the capture of the Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and wife.

According to Sam George, the event reminded him of his dissertation topic, which focused on issues of international law.

He questions whether this signals the start of another international crisis similar to those in Libya or Iraq in Latin America.

In a post on X, Sam George wrote, “Today’s events in Caracas remind me of my dissertation topic at the Kofi Annan International Peace Keeping Training Centre, focusing on issues of International Law.

The question of territorial sovereignty, the triggers for the responsibility to protect, and the issues related to interventions by ‘superpowers’ have flooded my mind. Do we see another Libya or Iraq situation evolve in Latin America?

How do we dissect the dawn operation from Russia’s attempts in Ukraine or Israel’s actions in Palestine? Exciting times in global affairs and International law”.

Ghana condemns US invasion of Venezuela, demands immediate release of Maduro and his wife

0

The Government of Ghana has condemned the unilateral invasion of the Republic of Venezuela and the capture of its President, Nicolas Maduro, by the United States of America.

According to the government of Ghana, the incident was a gross violation of international law and the UN Charter.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday, January 4, 2026 also condemned President Trump’s recent comments of sending US oil companies into the country and running things until such time as the US deems it appropriate to handover power, as reminiscent of the colonial and imperialist era.

In light of this, Ghana has urged the immediate release of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, and demands a de-escalation of the situation, as the precedent undermines the world order, the principle of sovereignty and territorial independence.

Parts of the statement read, “The Government of the Republic of Ghana is alarmed at the unilateral and unauthorised invasion of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela by the United States of America”

“These declarations are reminiscent of the colonial and imperialist era and should have no place in the modern global order,” the government warned.

“The Government of Ghana calls for immediate de-escalation and the release of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, President Trump has said that the US will be running the North American country till a “proper and judicious transition” is made.

He stated, “We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition. So we don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in, and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years.

“So we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition. And it has to be judicious, because that’s what we’re all about,” he said.

This follows an earlier announcement that the US has carried out a large-scale strike on the capital city of Caracas, capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

According to President Trump, the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country.

Donald Trump, in a post, stated, “ The United States of America has successfully carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela and its leader,  President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country.

“Any loss under G4R not attributable to an eight-month-old GoldBod” – Sammy Gyamfi

0

Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), has said any loss under the Gold-for-Reserves (G4R) is not attributable to an eight-month-old GoldBod.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, January 3, Mr Gyamfi explained, “That program, any loss under it is not attributable to an eight-month-old GoldBod, neither is it attributable to mismanagement or incompetence by the BoG. Dr Asiamah [BoG boss] is a hero; he and that wonderful team at BoG, they have not, through mismanagement or incompetence cause any loss”.

“So we are not saying we have not made a loss, but somebody has made a loss through mismanagement. No, that is the policy design, and it is so sad that those under whom the policy was introduced are now feeling ignorant about the policy objects and the policy design,” he added.

Sammy Gyamfi further clarified that the Gold-for-Reserves (G4R) is being run by the Bank of Ghana (BoG).

According to Sammy Gyamfi, the Gold-for-Reserves programme is not an operation designed or owned by GoldBod.

He added, “The Gold-for-Reserves programme we have been running this year is a Bank of Ghana programme introduced in 2022.

“It is funded by the Bank of Ghana, and it has always sat in the books of the Bank of Ghana in 2022, 2023, and 2024, when the NPP was in power,” he stated.

“So where from this claim that it is the GoldBod that has made losses. An eight-month-old company now responsible for the losses of BoG?” he questioned.

His comments follow, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which has raised concerns over the reported losses of Goldbod.

The IMF described them as a potential risk to Ghana’s macroeconomic stability.

They further attributed the losses to transactions involving artisanal and small-scale mining, dore gold and referenced alleged “GoldBod off-taker fees.”

Also, the Minority in Parliament, led by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi, is demanding a bipartisan parliamentary probe into BoG-GoldBod $214m loss.

Addressing journalists in Accra on Monday, December 29, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah called for a bipartisan investigation into the operation of Goldbod.

He stated that a parliamentary ad-hoc committee should conduct a bipartisan investigation into all contracts, licenses, intermediaries, and related entities of the Goldbod.

He further noted that Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million under the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Gold Board and urged the committee to call on the two institutions to disclose their fee structures, pricing formulas, aggregator selection criteria, and foreign exchange arrangements.

Speaking to journalists in Accra, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated, “We are demanding the following: a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry into the circumstances under which the Republic of Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million, to be done here by the parliament of Ghana. We are asking for a parliamentary ad hoc investigative committee with the power to subpoena all contracts, licences, intermediaries, including this power rock monopoly.

“Under this bipartisan enquiry, we will be expecting the BoG and the GoldBod to publish the fee structure, the pricing formula, the aggregator selecting criteria and all foreign exchange arrangements that they have tied to this scheme, which has led to this loss.

“…One of the things we will be asking for is the suspension of permits in forest reserves and the introduction of serious measures on traceability because, as at now, we have every reason to believe that state money is being used to buy Galamsey gold…Where negligence or corruption is proven, prosecutions must follow, and all recoverable funds must be given back to the state,” Nkrumah stated.

“Bawa Rock Company not a mushroom company” – Sammy Gyamfi

0

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, has clarified that the Bawa Rock Company Limited is not a mushroom company as claimed by critics.

Sammy Gyamfi revealed that Bawa Rock Company Limited is a company incorporated under the laws of Ghana in 2015.

Speaking on Joy FM’s News, Sammy Gyamfi explained, “Bawa Rock Company Limited is a company incorporated under the laws of Ghana. It was incorporated specifically on the 15th of January, 2015. Bawa Rock deals in precious minerals, among others”.

“When you hear people say that this company has nothing to do with gold trading or was not registered for that purpose, it is not true,” he stated.

“This company is also not a mushroom company that just surfaced in the gold trading space. Since 2016, the company has renewed its gold trading licence every year until 2025. Every single year, the company has renewed its gold trading licence,” he added.

“As a matter of fact, they were one of the major gold suppliers to aggregators under MIIF’s Gold-for-Reserves programme in 2024, when the NPP was in power,” Mr. Gyamfi stated.

He further revealed that the Bawa Rock Company Limited was the only applicant that met the eligibility requirements for an aggregator licence.

Also, Bright Simons, the IMANI Africa Vice President, has said self-finance aggregators are struggling to compete with Bawa Rock.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile detailed that the core issue as a critical financial imbalance.

He noted that Bawa Rock, as the central entity in the programme, benefits from interest-free financing provided by the Bank of Ghana.

Bright Simons explained, “The aggregator gets money from the Bank of Ghana. Is it interest-free? We say, yes, it’s interest-free. The self-finance aggregator gets money from their own banks. Is that interest-free? We know it’s not interest-free”.

“You have someone who is sourcing money commercially, competing with someone who’s getting money from the government. Who will win?”

“They are telling us that right now… Bawa Rock, beyond obviously the fact that it sits at the apex, is competing with the self-finance aggregators. It’s not really necessarily buying from the self-finance aggregators,” Simons added.

This follows, the Minority in Parliament questioning the licensing of Bawa Rock Company Limited by the Gold Board.

According to them, Bawa Rock Company Limited is the sole aggregator for the purchase of artisanal gold from suppliers across the country.

The minority highlighted that the arrangement has effectively created a monopoly where competition once existed.

Speaking to journalists on Monday, December 29, 2025, the Ranking Member on the Economy and Development Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, stated, “There’s a person known as Alhaji Bawa of Bawa Rock Limited. We bring to the attention of the Ghanaian people the role of his company in becoming the only aggregator licensed by the Gold Board to purchase all artisanal gold directly for the Gold Board from suppliers across the country.

“A de facto monopoly has been created in this industry where competition used to exist and used to ensure fair pricing, transparency, and the prevention of rent-seeking”

“Who is benefiting from this deliberate monopoly? Who selected Bawa Rock Limited, and what criteria were used? Was it competitive? Who are the beneficial owners of this entity? These are questions the public deserves answers to,” he said.

“Ghanaians will soon start asking NDC gov’t real questions” – Bryan Acheampong

0

Dr Bryan Acheampong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, has said that soon Ghanaians will start asking the National Democratic Congress government real questions.

The Abetifi lawmaker confidently stated that the applause the John Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) government is getting is fake and AI-generated.

Bryan Acheampong detailed that the government is being praised for using artificial methods to restore Ghana’s economy.

According to Bryan Acheampong, when the artificial methods stop working, Ghanaians will begin to ask the government tough questions.

Dr Bryan Acheampong, in the interview, stated, “I’m saying that artificial intelligence can be used for a lot of things. Most of the applause and all the praise we are seeing are mainly generated by machines clapping.

“Very soon, Ghanaians will start asking questions. They will start asking questions,” he said.

He added, “They will say that we voted for you 12 months ago, and you used 10 billion dollars to hold the economy; what fundamentals are you putting in place for it (the economy) to stabilise?

“The money you inject into the economy from the Bank of Ghana is one thing, but what you have to do for the economy to stabilise is another thing. The Bank of Ghana will not always be in the position to inject money, so the fundamentals must be strong,” he said.

He added, “So, very soon, Ghanaians will start asking that the money from the Bank of Ghana is no longer coming, the dollar is going up… where is the 24-hour economy? These are the pillars which are supposed to hold the economy.”

Meanwhile, Global InfoAnalytics has announced that a new national tracking poll has revealed majority of Ghanaians feel their standard of living has improved over the past year.

According to Global InfoAnalytics, 56% of respondents said their standard of living has improved compared to last year.

However, 27% reponded stated their standard of living remained unchanged, with 12% reported a decline, and 5% had no opinion.

Also, 70% of voters expressed confidence that their standard of living will improve in 2026.

The poll also revealed that 66 per cent of Ghanaians are satisfied with the 2026 budget presented by Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, with 18 per cent dissatisfied and 16 per cent neutral.

The Global InfoAnalytics poll also revealed 60% feel the government is doing enough to fight corruption.

On galamsey, 47% said the menace has not worsened under the President John Mahama administration.

“I will serve this country with my heart and honesty” – Ken Agyapong pledges 

0

Kennedy Agyapong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, has confidently said he would serve Ghana with his heart and honesty.

According to Ken Agyapong, he will arrest his own child if he steals state funds.

He highlighted that if he would arrest his own children who steal state funds, what of ministers who steal.

Ken Agyapong stressed that because of his principled nature, other NPP bigwigs are against his bid to lead the party.

Speaking to NPP delegates during his campaign runs, Kenned Agyapong stated, “If my own child steals state funds, I will arrest him; my children already know of my attitude, so they will not even come close to the state to become president son and come and disgrace me. I will arrest my own child.

So if I arrest my own son, when you are minister, and you make a mistake, what will I do to you? That is the reason why they do not want to vote for me. When that is not done, Ghana will never succeed.

When everyone comes, it’s his family and friends, and they come for their share, and they leave with the country left to go backwards. I am promising you, I kennedy Agyapong, I will serve this country with my heart and honesty”.

Also, Ken Agyapong has pledged to beat Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah’s record.

Speaking during a radio interview, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “If Ghanaians give me the opportunity, I aim to beat Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s record because he is my role model. When Dr Kwame Nkrumah was president, Ghana’s population was 4 million. Look at his vision; the things he achieved are still relevant today with the population of 33.6 million.

When you look at the lands Nkrumah acquired for the Universities and Secondary Schools, if you go to Korle Bu, the land he acquired, Nkrumah was very great. Although I am a UP member but I was always telling the truth for nine years of Dr Kwame Nkrumah, what he did for Ghana, I want to beat that record.

I am going to go by development, the biggest challenge in this country now is unemployment, especially youth unemployment, and if that can be reduced. I am not saying we will eliminate unemployment completely because there are some people, even if you give them work, they will not do it”.

Meanwhile, a latest poll by the Global Info Analytics in December 2025 has revealed that the former Assin Central legislator, Kennedy Agyapong, has gained huge momentum in the NPP presidential race.

According to the Global Info Analytics, Kennedy Agyapong has moved from 18 per cent to 31 per cent in the NPP race.

However, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the former Vice President, remains in the lead with 45% in December.

The poll revealed that Bawumia led the race with 45 per cent, Ken Agyapong with 31 per cent, with 11 per cent undisclosed and 9 per cent undecided.

The survey, which was conducted through a random computer-assisted telephone interview of about 3000 delegates, revealed Ken Agyapong made 13% gains on his November output, while Dr Bawumia moved closer to the 50% by 2 per cent.

With a little over a month to the NPP primary, the former Vice President will require at least 6% of the undecided votes.

However, for Kennedy Agyapong to clinch victory, he will be required to secure nearly all the 19 plus percent undecided and undisclosed votes.

Watch Sammy Gyamfi throw a challenge to Oppong Nkrumah over Goldbod aggregator license

0

Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Gold Board, has thrown a challenge to the Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, concerning the Goldbod aggregator license.

Speaking on News File, Sammy Gyamfi stated, “I am here, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, I am here, you have addressed a press conference. I am challenging you, if you can give me one company that has applied for a Goldbod aggregator lincense met all the requirements, especially giving us a guarantee from a bank or an insurance company, and we refused its application, put it out today. They don’t have.

It will be recalled that the Minority in Parliament questioned the licensing of Bawa Rock Company Limited by the Gold Board.

According to them, Bawa Rock Company Limited is the sole aggregator for the purchase of artisanal gold from suppliers across the country.

The minority highlighted that the arrangement has effectively created a monopoly where competition once existed.

Speaking to journalists on Monday, December 29, 2025, the Ranking Member on the Economy and Development Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, stated, “There’s a person known as Alhaji Bawa of Bawa Rock Limited. We bring to the attention of the Ghanaian people the role of his company in becoming the only aggregator licensed by the Gold Board to purchase all artisanal gold directly for the Gold Board from suppliers across the country.

“A de facto monopoly has been created in this industry where competition used to exist and used to ensure fair pricing, transparency, and the prevention of rent-seeking”

“Who is benefiting from this deliberate monopoly? Who selected Bawa Rock Limited, and what criteria were used? Was it competitive? Who are the beneficial owners of this entity? These are questions the public deserves answers to,” he said.

Subsequently, Sammy Gyamfi, has revealed that Bawa Rock Company Limited was the only applicant out of 31 to meet the eligibility requirements for an aggregator licence.

Speaking on Joy FM’s News File on Saturday, January 3, Sammy Gyamfi, persons who claimed the Goldbod created a monopoly do not understand how the Board’s gold trading and licensing system operates.

He explained that the GoldBod operates a four-tier gold buying licence system, which includes the tier one buyers, tier two buyers, self-financing aggregators, and aggregators.

According to him, all four tiers buy gold on behalf of the Goldbod, not only Bawa Rock, but also the only aggregators.

Sammy Gyamfi detailed that tier one buyers are grassroots buyers licensed to purchase gold directly from licensed small-scale miners, while tier two buyers are permitted to buy from both miners and tier one buyers. Self-financing aggregators, he said, use their own funds to buy gold for GoldBod, unlike aggregators who are primarily funded by GoldBod to carry out purchases.

Mr Gyamfi divulged that in 2025, “GoldBod issued a total of 900 buying licences. Out of these, 269 were issued under the tier one category, 578 under tier two, 52 self-financing aggregator licences, and only one aggregator licence”.

He stated that 31 applications were received for the aggregator category, but only Bawa Rock met the eligibility criteria required in 2025.

According to Sammy Gyamfi, he jas nothing to do with the approval of aggregator licences, adding that management only makes recommendations, with the governing board of GoldBod solely responsible for approving or rejecting applications.

He also noted that the aggregator licensing process is ongoing and has not been closed, adding that the number of aggregators can change at any time.

Ghana will experience new roads, and this nation this very year we will enjoy”.

“Economy dey do better nanso prices dey increase everywhere” – Vormawor

0

Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a social activist and private legal practitioner, has cried out concerning the constant increase in prices despite Ghana’s economy doing better.

Vormawor noted that Ghana’s economy is doing better, but prices keep increasing everywhere.

According to him, the Finance Minister Ato Forson is doing well, but his pockets are still bleeding from the constant increases in prices of goods and services.

In a social media post, Oliver Barker-Vormawor stated, “Economy Dey do better nanso prices Dey increase everywhere. We Dey go, or we Dey come? Ato is forcing nanso, still, my pocket is bleeding. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Make Ghana Affordable At least- MAGA!”.

His comments follow news of the provisional schedule of academic fees for University of Ghana students for the 2025/26 academic year, which shows a substantial upward adjustment.

According to the provisional schedule of academic fees, the adjustments affect both fresh and continuing students.

The 2025/2026 academic year fee increase sees students paying over 25 per cent more across all colleges.

Firstly, at the College of Humanities, “approved fees indicate that Level 100 students will pay GH¢3,110 for the 2025/26 academic year, representing a 34 per cent increase from the GH¢2,319 charged in the 2024/25 academic year. Continuing students at the college will pay GH¢2,253, reflecting a 27 per cent increase from the previous GH¢1,777”.

Also, the University of Ghana School of Law freshers are paying an increase of 33 per cent. “University of Ghana School of Law, undergraduate freshers under the College of Humanities will pay GH¢3,226, a 33 per cent increase from GH¢2,435 last academic year. Continuing law students will also see their fees rise from GH¢1,890 to GH¢2,396”.

Subsequently, “Health Sciences, Basic and Applied Sciences, and Education, have also recorded fee hikes ranging between 25 and 35 per cent. The increases have generated agitation among students and parents, many of whom say the changes were introduced without prior notice”.

Additionally, there has been a rise in third-party fees. In the 2024/25 academic year, third-party fees stood at GH¢255 but have now been increased to GH¢767 for freshmen and GH¢455 for continuing students.

However, the management of the University of Ghana (UG) has explained that the over 25% increase in academic fees for the 2025/2026 academic year is due to the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) and the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG).

According to the management of the University of Ghana, the fee hike is attributed to fees imposed by the SRC and GRASAG to support their activities.

The  UG management urged students to communicate their grievances to their respective student leadership bodies.

Speaking to Citi News, the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Professor Gordon Awandare, stated, “What is being reported as fee increases relates to third-party fees imposed by student leadership. These are fees approved through their own governance structures and communicated to students over two weeks ago.

University management did not impose these fees. If students have issues with these charges, they should take them up with their SRC or GRASAG leadership. These fees are meant to support student programmes and activities”.

Bawa Rock only applicant out of 31 to meet eligibility requirements as an aggregator – GoldBod CEO

0

Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Gold Board, has revealed that Bawa Rock Company Limited was the only applicant out of 31 to meet the eligibility requirements for an aggregator licence.

It will be recalled that the Minority in Parliament questioned the licensing of Bawa Rock Company Limited by the Gold Board.

According to them, Bawa Rock Company Limited is the sole aggregator for the purchase of artisanal gold from suppliers across the country.

The minority highlighted that the arrangement has effectively created a monopoly where competition once existed.

Speaking to journalists on Monday, December 29, 2025, the Ranking Member on the Economy and Development Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, stated, “There’s a person known as Alhaji Bawa of Bawa Rock Limited. We bring to the attention of the Ghanaian people the role of his company in becoming the only aggregator licensed by the Gold Board to purchase all artisanal gold directly for the Gold Board from suppliers across the country.

“A de facto monopoly has been created in this industry where competition used to exist and used to ensure fair pricing, transparency, and the prevention of rent-seeking”

“Who is benefiting from this deliberate monopoly? Who selected Bawa Rock Limited, and what criteria were used? Was it competitive? Who are the beneficial owners of this entity? These are questions the public deserves answers to,” he said.

Speaking on Joy FM’s News File on Saturday, January 3, Sammy Gyamfi, persons who claimed the Goldbod created a monopoly do not understand how the Board’s gold trading and licensing system operates.

He explained that the GoldBod operates a four-tier gold buying licence system, which includes the tier one buyers, tier two buyers, self-financing aggregators, and aggregators.

According to him, all four tiers buy gold on behalf of the Goldbod, not only Bawa Rock, but also the only aggregators.

Sammy Gyamfi detailed that tier one buyers are grassroots buyers licensed to purchase gold directly from licensed small-scale miners, while tier two buyers are permitted to buy from both miners and tier one buyers. Self-financing aggregators, he said, use their own funds to buy gold for GoldBod, unlike aggregators who are primarily funded by GoldBod to carry out purchases.

Mr Gyamfi divulged that in 2025, “GoldBod issued a total of 900 buying licences. Out of these, 269 were issued under the tier one category, 578 under tier two, 52 self-financing aggregator licences, and only one aggregator licence”.

He stated that 31 applications were received for the aggregator category, but only Bawa Rock met the eligibility criteria required in 2025.

According to Sammy Gyamfi, he jas nothing to do with the approval of aggregator licences, adding that management only makes recommendations, with the governing board of GoldBod solely responsible for approving or rejecting applications.

He also noted that the aggregator licensing process is ongoing and has not been closed, adding that the number of aggregators can change at any time.

Meanwhile, Bright Simons, the IMANI Africa Vice President, has said self-finance aggregators are struggling to compete with Bawa Rock.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile detailed that the core issue is a critical financial imbalance.

He noted that Bawa Rock, as the central entity in the programme, benefits from interest-free financing provided by the Bank of Ghana.

Bright Simons explained, “The aggregator gets money from the Bank of Ghana. Is it interest-free? We say, yes, it’s interest-free. The self-finance aggregator gets money from their own banks. Is that interest-free? We know it’s not interest-free”.

“You have someone who is sourcing money commercially, competing with someone who’s getting money from the government. Who will win?”

“They are telling us that right now… Bawa Rock, beyond obviously the fact that it sits at the apex, is competing with the self-finance aggregators. It’s not really necessarily buying from the self-finance aggregators,” Simons added.

“Has GoldBod made a loss? Emphatically no” – Sammy Gyamfi declares 

0

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has debunked claims that the GoldBod made losses under the Gold-for-Reserves programme.

According to Sammy Gyamfi, the GoldBod ended 2025 with a strong financial surplus.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, January 3, Mr Gyamfi explained, “Has GoldBod made a loss? Emphatically no. The GoldBod, even though it is not a profit-making public operation, has not made any losses. The GoldBod for the year 2025 generated revenue to the tune of GHS960 million, a little over that. Our expenditure for the year 2025 stands below GHS120 million. These are all unaudited accounts.”

“…It is very clear that we will be declaring a surplus of GHS700, GHS800million to put it very conservatively.”

His comments follow, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which has raised concerns over the reported losses of Goldbod.

The IMF described them as a potential risk to Ghana’s macroeconomic stability.

They further attributed the losses to transactions involving artisanal and small-scale mining, dore gold and referenced alleged “GoldBod off-taker fees.”

Also, the Minority in Parliament, led by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi, is demanding a bipartisan parliamentary probe into BoG-GoldBod $214m loss.

Addressing journalists in Accra on Monday, December 29, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah called for a bipartisan investigation into the operation of Goldbod.

He stated that a parliamentary ad-hoc committee should conduct a bipartisan investigation into all contracts, licenses, intermediaries, and related entities of the Goldbod.

He further noted that Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million under the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Gold Board and urged the committee to call on the two institutions to disclose their fee structures, pricing formulas, aggregator selection criteria, and foreign exchange arrangements.

Speaking to journalists in Accra, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated, “We are demanding the following: a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry into the circumstances under which the Republic of Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million, to be done here by the parliament of Ghana. We are asking for a parliamentary ad hoc investigative committee with the power to subpoena all contracts, licences, intermediaries, including this power rock monopoly.

“Under this bipartisan enquiry, we will be expecting the BoG and the GoldBod to publish the fee structure, the pricing formula, the aggregator selecting criteria and all foreign exchange arrangements that they have tied to this scheme, which has led to this loss.

“…One of the things we will be asking for is the suspension of permits in forest reserves and the introduction of serious measures on traceability because, as at now, we have every reason to believe that state money is being used to buy Galamsey gold…Where negligence or corruption is proven, prosecutions must follow, and all recoverable funds must be given back to the state,” Nkrumah stated.

Ghana commenced negotiations with Ukraine to secure the release of Ghanaian prisoner of war

0

The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced the commencement of diplomatic negotiations with Ukraine for the release of a Ghanaian national, who was captured by Ukrainian authorities as a prisoner of war in the Russia-Ukraine War.

According to official documents shared with Ghana, the unnamed individual arrived in Russia in July 2024, where he joined the Russian military and fought in the Zaporizhzhia area.

On Friday, 2nd January 2026, Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister met with the Acting Ambassador of Ukraine to Ghana, Ivan Lukachuk and appealed for the release of the young man to Ghana.

In a post shared on X, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa stated, “Ghana has commenced diplomatic negotiations with Ukraine aimed at securing the release of a Ghanaian national (name withheld) who is being held by the Ukrainians as a prisoner of war.

The Ukrainian Government has notified us of the arrest of our national and provided his identity, which we have now verified.

Evidence made available indicates that the Ghanaian arrived in Moscow, Russia, on July 7, 2024, where records show he signed a contract to join the 2nd Assault Company of the 71st Motorised Rifle Regiment of the 42nd Motorised Rifle Division. He subsequently participated in hostilities in the Zaporizhzhia direction.

Yesterday, I held a meeting with the Acting Ambassador of Ukraine to Ghana, Ivan Lukachuk and appealed for his release to Ghana”.

The post added, “A special message has been sent to Kyiv.

I am also scheduled to travel to Ukraine in the coming weeks to continue with negotiations for his release.

Ghana has objected to the potential of our national being added to a prisoners of war exchange between Ukraine and Russia, considering that could make him even more vulnerable.

We are hopeful that our intense diplomatic efforts would yield the expected results, particularly by leveraging our cordial relations and Ghana’s strong advocacy for peace and a cessation of the conflict.

May I use this opportunity to passionately appeal to the youth of Ghana to be alert to the modus operandi of these criminal recruitment and human trafficking networks operating clandestinely and often through the dark web. Please do not fall prey. It is extremely dangerous to get involved in any conflict; you can be killed or captured.

The Mahama administration will keep prioritising the welfare of all Ghanaians and ensuring that no one is left in harm’s way”.

BoG running Gold-for-Reserves not Goldbod – Sammy Gyamfi

0

Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), has said the Gold-for-Reserves (G4R) is being run by the Bank of Ghana (BoG).

According to Sammy Gyamfi, the Gold-for-Reserves programme is not an operation designed or owned by GoldBod.

He explained that Gold-for-Reserves accounts have always remained under the Bank of Ghana because it is a BoG-funded initiative.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, January 3, Mr Gyamfi explained, “The Gold-for-Reserves programme we have been running this year is a Bank of Ghana programme introduced in 2022.

“It is funded by the Bank of Ghana, and it has always sat in the books of the Bank of Ghana in 2022, 2023, and 2024, when the NPP was in power,” he stated.

“So where from this claim that it is the GoldBod that has made losses. An eight-month-old company now responsible for the losses of BoG?” he questioned.

He added, “That program, any loss under it is not attributable to an eight-month-old GoldBod, neither is it attributable to mismanagement or incompetence by the BoG. Dr Asiamah [BoG boss] is a hero; he and that wonderful team at BoG, they have not, through mismanagement or incompetence cause any loss”.

“So we are not saying we have not made a loss, but somebody has made a loss through mismanagement. No, that is the policy design, and it is so sad that those under whom the policy was introduced are now feeling ignorant about the policy objects and the policy design,” he added.

Sammy Gyamfi further debunked claims that the GoldBod made losses under the Gold-for-Reserves programme.

According to Sammy Gyamfi,  the GoldBod ended 2025 with a strong financial surplus.

He added, “Has GoldBod made a loss? Emphatically no. The GoldBod, even though it is not a profit-making public operation, has not made any losses. The GoldBod for the year 2025 generated revenue to the tune of GHS960 million, a little over that. Our expenditure for the year 2025 stands below GHS120 million. These are all unaudited accounts.”

“The number you pick during balloting will be your position” – ElBernard tells Ken face-to-face

0

Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun, the General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, has boldly told Ken Agyapong face-to-face that he would become the New Patriotic Party flagbearer for the 2028 election.

According to Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun, the same angel who revealed to him all his successful prophecies he had made in the past revealed to him that the former Assin Central MP would win the NPP presidential primaries.

Speaking at Ken’s National Praise 2026, United in Praise, at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun stated, “It was this same angel that, when I met the Ga Mantse, when he was sitting in a church in Kumasi — Family Chapel — in the congregation, instructed me to call him, and I picked him, and the angel said, ‘Tell the Ga Mantse, there will be a day he will come and rule as the government of the people of Accra.’

“His Excellency, it is the same angel of God that, in a service in Ghana, when I saw two ladies in the service and I called them out, and I mentioned the name Laurent Gbagbo, and I said the Lord said their mother, who has been sentenced to a prison term of over 20 years, will not even spend three years in jail. Their mother will come out of jail, and when their mother is out, their father will come out from the International Criminal Court,” he said.

“His Excellency, it is the same angel that told me that John Dramani Mahama will come and become His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Ghana. His Excellency, it is the same angel that made me speak to the current Inspector General of Police that in 2025 a new government will be in power, and in less than four months after they are in power, he shall be made the IGP. It is the same angel that made me speak to Dr Gideon Boako that there are two elections ahead of him. One is a primary. He will win, and he will win the main election. And in 2025, he will be in the Parliament of Ghana,” he said.

“It is the same angel who has made me consistently speak about your coming. Today, the angel said I should tell you face to face that ‘on January 31, 2026, the number you pick during balloting that has made this (pointing a finger in the air) as your symbol after the election, this will be your position’.”

Meanwhile, some other Ghanaian prophets have been left divided following their conflicting 2026 prophecies regarding the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential election on January 31, 2026.

Some Ghanaian prophets have revealed that the former vice president and NPP flagbearer for the 2024 elections, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will emerged victories; others also stressed that Kennedy Agyapong, the former Assin Central MP, will be declared victorious.

In the short 32-second video compilation of the Prophets prophets shared on social media, Prophet Roja stated, “Kennedy has won the election handsdown”.

Nigel Gaisie also stated, “I saw Dr Bawumia take it”.

Also, the General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun, said, “Bawumia will not lead the New Patriotic Party”.

Prophet Elijah King, “I saw Bawumia as the winner of the NPP presidential seat”.

Subsequently, another man of God in the video stated, “I saw Hon Ken leading the NPP to become president”.

Rev Owusu Bempah added, “ Dr Bawumia say he wants to be president in this country, we shall see?”

Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, commonly known as Prophet Uche, the Founder-Leader of Creator’s House Chapel, maintained, “ I saw Bawumia winning the primaries”.

US captures Venezuela’s President Maduro and wife 

0

President Donald Trump has announced the US has carried out a large-scale strike on the capital city of Caracas, capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

According to President Trump, the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country.

Donald Trump, in a post, stated, “ The United States of America has successfully carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela and its leader,  President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country.

This operation was done in conjunction with the U.S. Law Enforcement”.

The post further revealed, “Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M, at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J. Trump”.

Reports emerging around the situation suggests the US has, for years, accused Nicolas Maduro of “drug trafficking and narco-terrorism — linking him to criminal networks that export illegal drugs, especially fentanyl, into the United States; corruption and repression — claiming his government is illegitimate, unfairly rigged elections, and has jailed political opponents; threat to US security and regional stability — including designating Venezuelan criminal organizations as foreign terrorist groups”.

“The US Justice Department previously indicted Maduro on federal charges, and the Trump administration offered a reward of up to $50 million for information leading to his arrest”.

Meanwhile, reports from CNN have earlier revealed several explosions in Caracas and reported that some areas of the city were without electricity.

CNN stated, “The first blast was recorded at approximately 1.50 AM local time on Saturday (0.50 AM ET).

Trump has repeatedly warned that the US is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela.

The Venezuelan Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino López had earlier said the US attack on Saturday impacted urban areas across Venezuela, with missiles and rockets fired from American combat helicopters.

He said Venezuela is currently gathering information about the number of people killed and wounded, and confirmed the Fort Tiuna military installation in Caracas was attacked.

Lopez insisted the country would resist the presence of foreign troops in the country”.

“This invasion represents the greatest outrage the country has suffered,” he added.

Some netizens reacting to Donald Trump’s post stated, “The US has done what it wanted and needed, though in 2026, why is a legitimate country being attacked for Oil? Surely can’t win a peace prize doing this?”.

Another stated, “Thank you, President Trump, for your leadership & resolve and to our brave service members who have conducted a stellar military operation.

Praying this is the beginning of freedom and democracy for #Venezuela.

Our community is forever grateful & our country is safer than ever!”.

“We are not at war” – Afenyo-Markin on disagreement in Parliament

0

Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader in Parliament, has clarified that the heated exchanges witnessed in Parliament.

According to Afenyo-Markin, the heated exchanges should not be mistaken for anger but rather are a way the MPs express their disagreements as part of democratic process.

Speaking in a video shared by GraphicOnline on X on Thursday, January 1, 2026, he explained, “Don’t think that we are fighting. It is only our way of expressing disagreement. We are not at war in Parliament; we are only expressing our disagreements”.

“That’s why when there’s chaos, you see calmness the next day in Parliament. So, if you go and fight, you are fighting your own trouble, so don’t fight,” he emphasised.

Some Ghanaians reacting to Afenyo-Markin’s comment stated, “That is not how to express disagreement. Stop the gaslighting and take responsibility for the indiscipline you and your colleagues are leading in parliament. Lead by example”.

“I like how Hon. Edem Agbana is closer to Hon. Afenyo. Afenyo is one fine guy you can associate yourself with if you want to drive infrastructure and employment in your constituency”, a netizen added.

A netizen quizzed, “Expressing disagreement by leading your dishonest colleagues to destroy state properties? Is vandalism a disagreement? Ghanaians are asking you”.

One last X user added, “The main concern of well-meaning Ghanaians is the reckless behaviour of the minority members, to the extent of destroying state properties and frequently disrespecting parliamentary leadership”.

Meanwhile, an aide to former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has said every chaos in parliament is on the head of the Speaker Bagbin.

Dennis Miracles Aboagye accused Speaker Bagbin of being biased, partisan, unjust and not transparent.

According to Miracles Aboagye, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, is the worst Speaker Ghana has had since 1992.

He further urges the NDC to ‘end their delusions’ and focus on delivering the governance Ghanaians voted for.

Speaking on Asempa FM, Dennis Miracles Aboagye claimed, “Bagbin remains the worst Speaker of Parliament since 1992. He is biased, partisan, unjust and not transparent, and all he does is skirmish. Every chaos is parliament is on the head of the speaker. He is the one who must maintain order in the chamber, but because of his inconsistency…”

He cited the Speaker’s conduct during the 8th parliament and the 9th parliament, arguing that the Speaker turned the 8th parliament into a nursery because of his skirmishes.

Miracles Aboagye added, “What happened in the 8th parliament is what we are seeing in the 9th parliament. We saw parliament turned into a nursery, and it all happened under this same speaker because of his skirmishes. He’s unable to make firm decisions. How can the Speaker of the House move a motion in the midst of chaos?

That is not leadership; that is you supporting impunity. You did it in the 8th Parliament when the NPP has majority, and you are doing it in the 9th Parliament, and it is time to call the Speaker out, let him know that he is responsible for the House. So if the House is in chaos, it is on his head and nobody else”.

2 dead, 21 injured as a bus carrying Adom Kyei’s Church members crashes

0

Two people have been killed and 21 others injured after a church bus carrying Adom Kyei’s Church members crashed.

According to reports, the tragic incident occurred on the Assin Fosu–Kumasi highway on the night of January 1, 2025.

The crash occurred around 9:00 p.m. when a church-branded bus returning worshippers from a 31st Night service in Kumasi rammed into a crowd gathered for a street parade at Assin Dansame.

The bus, upon reaching Assin Dansame, collided with a crowd participating in a street parade, killing a 21-year-old apprentice and a Sunyani Technical University student, Maame Yaa, and another victim who died on the spot.

Reports suggest 21 other people sustained various degrees of injury and were rushed to different hospitals across the region.

The information gathered suggests the accident sparked outrage among residents, which led to the youths vandalising the bus.

The bus was completely destroyed; however, the Police were deployed to restore calm.

ASP Wonder Lumor of the Central North Regional MTTD Commander confirmed the incident.

He revealed investigations have been launched to determine the cause of the crash.

Some netizens reacting to the news stated, “The rising accidents on the Accra–Kumasi road have become a serious public canker. It’s hard to tell what leadership is doing, but urgent, thorough investigations must be launched and the real causes addressed immediately. No human life is too small”.

One X user added, “The entire Ghana arterial roads needed to be reconstructed. Our road lacks engineering capacity. Hence, it has become a graveyard. Citizens need to hold present and past governments accountable. Simply, politicians had done more harm than good to Ghana”.

“Ghanaians and their fake pastors. They all didn’t see this, but will be busy predicting who will win the NPP flagbearership. Confused charlatans. How can grown adults be so easily deceived? It’s actually very crazy”, one netizen added.

An additional X user added, “Fosu Road is no joke oo…lots of parked trailers on the road. Timber long vehicles thread that road often, tricky curves with no sight of incoming vehicles till you are in front of it. Before you reach your destination, you will shout, “Jesus,” at least 5 times before you get there”

Over 25% increase in academic fees caused by SRC, GRASAG – UG Management

0

The management of the University of Ghana (UG) has explained that the over 25% increase in academic fees for the 2025/2026 academic year is due to the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) and the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG).

According to the management of the University of Ghana, the fee hike is attributed to fees imposed by the SRC and GRASAG to support their activities.

The  UG management urged students to communicate their grievances to their respective student leadership bodies.

Speaking to Citi News, the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Professor Gordon Awandare, stated, “What is being reported as fee increases relates to third-party fees imposed by student leadership. These are fees approved through their own governance structures and communicated to students over two weeks ago.

University management did not impose these fees. If students have issues with these charges, they should take them up with their SRC or GRASAG leadership. These fees are meant to support student programmes and activities”.

He added, “When you look at the fees about GHS2000 for an entire academic year at Ghana’s premier university, it is difficult to describe them as excessive. Utilities and operational costs have increased significantly, yet university fees have largely remained unchanged since 2022.

Even the students themselves recognise that the previous fee levels were no longer realistic under current economic conditions, which is why they have adjusted their component of the fees to match the cost of running their activities.” he said.

His comments follow news of the provisional schedule of academic fees for University of Ghana students for the 2025/26 academic year, which shows a substantial upward adjustment.

According to the provisional schedule of academic fees, the adjustments affect both fresh and continuing students.

The 2025/2026 academic year fee increase sees students paying over 25 per cent more across all colleges.

“Don’t know exactly what my boy’s crime is” – Sarkodie breaks silence on Ebo Noah’s arrest

Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has broken his silence on the arrest of self-acclaimed modern-day Noah, Evans Eshun, commonly known as Ebo Noah.

According to him, he does not know what exactly Ebo Noah’s crime is that led to his arrest, adding that from day one, he knew Ebo Noah was just making content.

Sarkodie, in a post on his Instagram story, wrote, “Don’t know exactly what my boy’s crime is, but from day one I knew he was making content, unless he’s been charged with something else,”

In court, the Self-acclaimed prophet Evans Eshun, commonly known as Ebo Noah, has been remanded into police custody.

Ebo Noah was earlier spotted at the Adenta Circuit Court in handcuffs following his arrest.

He was arrested by the GPS Special Cyber Vetting Team on December 31, 2025, after his viral video claiming God would destroy the world with a flood on December 25, 2025.

In a viral video shared on X, Ebo Noah was spotted by excuted to court by officers of the CID.

Ebo Noah is facing charges of false communication, deliberately misleading the public, and publishing false news intended to cause fear and panic.

He was remanded into police custody for two weeks, following the adjournment of court proceedings at the Adentan Circuit Court.

The court has also ordered a psychiatric evaluation of the suspect at the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital, before his next appearance in court.

The case was subsequently adjourned to January 16, 2026.

It will be recalled that Ebo Noah, in a viral video, had claimed he received divine instruction that God had warned him that the world would end on December 25, 2025.

He claimed he had been instructed by God to build the ark to rescue souls who wished to be saved.

However, Ebo Noah later claimed that after intercession, God had given him some more time to build more arks.

According to Ebo Noah, looking at the number of people coming all over the country, the ark could not contain the numbers.

In a viral video update, Ebo Noah claimed he received a fresh vision in which he saw large numbers alleging that the ark was unable to contain the influx of people.

Speaking in the viral video, Ebo Noah warned Ghanaians not to rush to any location but stay in their houses and enjoy Christmas.

Ebo Noah stated, “And through my prayers, I got another vision and, in the vision, when you look at the number of people coming all over the country all over the world into the ark the expansion of the ark couldn’t contain them, so I shared my vision to some great men of God who also interceded with me.

“After the intercession, God has given us some time to build more arks in addition to the tent that will contain all of us, so tomorrow nobody should rush to any location. I am not selling tickets, I am not taking money from anyone, so please stay home, enjoy yourself, “he said.

Agradaa will be released from prison – Nigel Gaisie

0

Prophet Nigel Gaisie, the Founder and Leader of Prophetic Hill Chapel, has revealed that Nana Agradaa, also known as Evangelist Mama Pat, will be released from prison.

Agradaa is serving a 15-year jail term after she was sentenced for two counts of defrauding by false pretences.

She was sentenced by Her Honour Evelyn Asamoah of the Circuit Court.

Agradaa was also fined GH¢300 for one count of charlatanic advertisement, with a 30-day custodial sentence in default of payment.

Her charges stem from a televised advertisement she aired in 2022.

In the ad, Agradaa claimed she has the power to double the money for her congregants at the Godsway International Heaven Church, misleading them into surrendering their money during an all-night church service at her Weija-based ministry in Accra.

The Judge, Evelyn Asamoah, highlighted that Agradaa skilfully executed the offences and showed no remorse during proceedings.

Speaking to his congregants during his church’s December 31, 2025, Watch Night service, Nigel Gaisie stated Agradaa would be release but he does not know when or how it is going to happen.

He stated, “I saw Agradaa’s release. I don’t know how it’s going to happen. On December 22, I was sleeping, and the Lord carried me into a vision. Then I saw, and I heard on the radio in a local language that she had been released.

“So when I was about to get out of my vision, I saw white handkerchiefs. I don’t know when. I don’t know how, but as a prophet of the Lord, who says and it cometh to pass, I’ve seen spiritually that Agradaa will be released,” he said.

Meanwhile, Osofo Appiah Biblical has alleged that Evangelist Nana Agradaa had a case with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) before her conviction.

According to Osofo Appiah Biblical, EOCO invited both Kudos and Nana Agradaa after she transferred GH₵7 million into her general manager’s account.

He further claimed that the GHC7 million transfer was only one of several transactions that drew EOCO’s attention.

Speaking on Angel TV on December 21, 2025, Appiah Biblical alleged, “EOCO invited both Kudos and Nana Agradaa because the money she gave him was not the only amount involved. There was a lot of money in question, and the GH₵7 million was just one transfer from one account to another”.

“Mahama will be forced to go for another term” – Prophet

0

Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, commonly known as Prophet Uche, the Founder-Leader of Creator’s House Chapel, has boldly declared that President John Mahama will be forced to go for another term.

According to Prophet Uche, President John Dramani Mahama has another term to rule Ghana, adding that he must rule Ghana for 8 years and not four years.

Speaking to his congregation during the 31st Night watch service, Prophet Uche detailed, “In the spiritual court, where heaven met, our father John Dramani Mahama must rule Ghana for 8 years and not four years. He has another term to rule in the highest office of Ghana”.

“I told people who are close to me and ‘papa’ about this about eight months ago. I told them that he (Mahama) will be forced to go for another term,” he said.

Meanwhile, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), has fired NDC members calling for a third term for President John Dramani Mahama.

According to Fifi Kwetey, those calling for a third term for President Mahama are sycophants and boot lickers who are only singing his praises to gain favour from him.

He stressed that those people are only singing the praises of Mahama as the only way they can survive.

“These days, it saddens me when I see so much sycophancy creeping into our party.

I see a group of people who, obviously, from every indication, believe that singing the praises of a leader is the only way they can survive.

Speaking at NDC’s 31st December Revolution at Ada, the General Secretary fumed, “And that’s why you hear some of those people even urging statements like there should be a 3rd term. It says nothing but sycophancy, pure sycophancy and boot licking of the highest order”.

Fifi Kwetey noted that even Jerry Rawlings, who was the founder of the NDC, was never urged by anybody to go for any 3rd term

“Jerry Rawlings, who was the founder of this party, never, at any point, was urged by anybody to go for any 3rd term. You have a bunch of sycophants who today think that all they need to do is sing praises and hope that somehow those praises will get them some opportunities that they are looking for”.

“You don’t love our country, you don’t love our party. If you do, you will not be such sycophants. It’s important for us to appreciate that this party was grounded in the need to work for our people. We say cadres may go; cadres may come, but the revolution has come to stay. That simply means it is not about individuals. It’s about us as a collective,” he said.

Rev John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, has urged Ghanaians to pray that President John Mahama does not fail.

According to Ntim Fordjour,  a president must not fail before another person takes power from him.

He stressed that Ghana’s prayer is that the country must succeed, whichever political party one belongs to.

Rev John Ntim Fordjour, during a church service, leading a prayer session, stated, “Our prayer is that Ghana must succeed. Our prayer is that President Mahama must not fail. Whatever political party you belong to, let this be your prayer, because the President must not fail before another takes over from him”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to Rev Ntim Fordjour’s remarks stated, “He was talking like Napo and others till he realised that there is no way Mahama will fail….NPP di3 45 years opposition paa. If this is your new year resolution to be truthful and patrotic then may God answer you”.

A netizen added, “This is what a typical Ghanaian should have in mind: one nation, one people, one  Ghana. Let’s pray for the government to progress so that we can have a convenient environment for all of us. Ghana doesn’t belong to NPP nor NDC”

“Na only today you Dey talk sense. Definitely not from his heart. We know this people. He is saying that because he knows President Mahama will succeed with his prayer or without his prayer”, a Ghanaian added.

Additionally, an X user added, “If this is your new year resolution to be truthful and patrotic then may God answer you. Ghanaian will not fail him. You fail Ghanaian without mercy, allow the man to reset your trousers well”

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama, in his New Year’s Message to the Nation on January 1, 2026, has called on Ghanaians to rise above partisan divisions and embrace collective nation-building.

He highlighted that whether some Ghanaians voted for him or not, they are all Ghanaians, adding that the reset agenda is for all Ghanaians.

He further detailed that Ghana’s development agenda must transcend political affiliation, regardless of how citizens voted in past elections.

President Mahama added that Ghana faces pressing challenges that need collective unity, adding that political conflict risks diverting attention and resources.

Mahama added, “We are one people with a shared destiny, whether you voted for me or not, whether you supported the NDC or not. We are all Ghanaians, and this reset is for all of us”.

“Let’s reject the politics of division and embrace the patriotism of nation-building. Let us disagree without being disagreeable. Let’s compete in the marketplace of ideas without treating our opponents as our enemies”.

“The challenges that we face are too urgent, and the opportunities before us are too precious for us to waste our time and energy in needless conflict”, he added.

President Mahama further made a rallying call to every Ghanaian to support the government in its efforts to build the nation.

There will be a coup attempt against President Mahama – Rev Owusu-Bempah

0

The Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, has warned of a possible coup attempt against President John Dramani Mahama by certain foreign elements.

The man of God boldly told the person planning the alleged coup against Ghana that they would not be successful.

Rev Owusu Bempah, speaking to his congregation about events to expect in 2026, stated, “Certain people have planned, and some of the people who are planning, or have planned, are foreigners who will come into Ghana. What I am saying is something I saw, that they entered this nation when we were not conscious of ourselves as a nation. All of a sudden, we heard there was a coup d’état,” he said.

He added, “Those who are planning that evil and want to stage a coup in this country, this is a warning to you because you will not succeed. And so we will pray about it, but the security agencies we have in this nation must be vigilant.”

Meanwhile, President John Mahama has already told the National Peace Council at the Jubilee House that Ghana is not immune to coup d’état.

According to John Mahama, Ghana is not immune to coup d’état, which is why his government is doing their best to make sure that they regain the trust of the people.

He stressed that democratic governance must let citizens have faith that it can deliver development.

Speaking during a courtesy call by the National Peace Council at the Jubilee House on December 10, President John Mahama stated, “For those of us who practice democratic governance, we must let our people have faith that democratic governance can deliver the kinds of opportunity and development that they are looking for”.

“You see a certain cynicism where young people said, even this voting is useless. I go and vote every four years, and I don’t see what difference it makes in our lives,” he said.

He cautioned, “One of my major campaign messages was that we have a last opportunity to keep the faith and trust of our people in the political elites. Otherwise, Ghana is not immune to coup d’états”.

President Mahama added, “I don’t enjoy prosecuting people, but the people of Ghana will not forgive us if people develop impunity in terms of abusing the trust that people have put in them”.

“That is why we are resourcing the Economic and Organised Crime Office and the other anti-corruption institutions, including the Office of the Special Prosecutor,” he added.

Ghana will experience new roads, and this nation this very year we will enjoy”.

Meanwhile, President Mahama, in his New Year’s Message to the Nation on January 1, 2026, has made a rallying call to every Ghanaian to support the government in its efforts to build the nation.

Our young people: You are not the leaders of tomorrow. You are the leaders of today. Take ownership of this Reset Agenda. Innovate. Create and Build. Ghana needs your energy, your ideas, your commitment.

To our entrepreneurs and business leaders: Invest in Ghana. Build businesses that create jobs and wealth for yourselves and for the economy. I pledge to maintain a conducive environment for your businesses to thrive; your commitment must be to seize the opportunities that we create.

To our civil society, media, and watchdog institutions: Continue to hold us accountable. A vibrant democracy needs your critical voice. We may not always agree, but we shall always respect the role you play in strengthening our nation.

To our traditional leaders and faith-based communities: You are the custodians of our values and the anchors of our communities. Help us build social cohesion and national unity. Help us nurture the moral fabric that holds our society together.

To the public servants: Yours is a noble calling. Serve with integrity, efficiency, and dedication. The people’s trust in government depends on your daily conduct.

And to our diaspora community: You are Ghana’s global ambassadors. Continue to make us proud. When you can, bring your skills, resources, and networks back home. Ghana needs you.

We are one people with a shared destiny. Whether you voted for me or not, whether you supported the NDC or not, we are all Ghanaians, and this reset is for all of us. There is no NPP Ghana. There is no CPP Ghana or NDC Ghana. There is only one Ghana. The one our forebears fought for and shed their blood to give us our freedom.”

He revealed that Ghana has been sinking and would be reborn in 2026 to become a superpower in Africa.

Prophet Telvin Sowah stated, “In 2026, every Ghanaian in Ghana needs to pay close attention to that operation. 2026 will be the best year for the past 40 years in this country; that is where we kick start.

Ghana is about to… they say reset, reset, Ghana is going to be reborn, the country has been sinking, now there is a new face of Ghana that is coming, and when that new face emerges, Ghana will become like a superpower in Africa”.

The man of God further added that Ghana will have a military liaison to have nuclear power.

Where we will have the capacity to have such weapons if we need them, and we will have the capacity to enter that liaison very soon in 2026. The country will be able to face the world aswell”.

Prophet Telvin Sowah further revealed that Ghana will have a strong economic development in 2026.

“The next road project in my constituency will have me rolling on the floor” – MP

0

Haruna Mohammed, the member of parliament for Asunafo North, has boldly stated that the next road project in his constituency will have him rolling on the floor.

The lawmaker made this known following a viral video of him, going down on his knees, praising President John Mahama for the swift commencement of a major road project in his constituency.

The lawmaker in a viral video asserted that the Goaso and Tepa road project was just awarded in three months under the Mahama government’s big push initiative, but the contractors are already asphalting the road.

Haruna Mohammed boldly highlighted that the Goaso and Tepa road was the main reason the people of Ahafo voted against the NPP government.

Speaking in the viral video during the ongoing works on the Goaso and Tepa road, Haruna Mohammed stated, “God bless Mahama, God should make him bigger.

I am so happy that even my white shirt I will roll on the floor with it to thank President Mahama and the NDC”. 

This road, in particular, is the reason why the people of Ahafo voted against the NPP. This contract was awarded just three months ago”. 

Reacting to the viral video, the MP in a post on X wrote, The next road project in my constituency, I will literally roll on the floor as gratitude”.

Also, Haruna Mohammned, in another post, has debunked claims that the NPP started the current massive works on the Tepa to Goaso road.

According to him, the claims are false, plain and simple.

He wrote, “The claim that the NPP started the current massive works on the Tepa to Goaso road is false. Plain and simple.

Before the 2024 elections, even the Ahafo Regional Chairman of the NPP publicly admitted that this same road was in a deplorable state and had become a serious political threat to his own party. At that time, there was no real construction on site. No momentum. Just abandoned sections, dust and endless excuses.

What the people are seeing today is not propaganda, not warnings and not fear driven promises. It is real work. Heavy equipment on site. Asphalt going down. Measurable progress. This only began after the change of government and the clear directive from President John Dramani Mahama under the Big Push infrastructure agenda for the contractor to return to site and deliver”.

He added, “Let it be clearly understood. Barely three months after the contract was awarded, the project is almost completed. That is what seriousness looks like. That is what leadership looks like.

For years, the people of Ahafo endured accidents, dust and hardship under NPP governance. If this road had truly been started and prioritised, it would never have become the very campaign liability their own leaders complained about in public.

They can amuse themselves with claims and self-praise if that makes them feel better. The political reality is staring all of us in the face. Today, the NPP holds only one seat out of six in Ahafo. That verdict was delivered by the people, not by words but by experience.

Ahafo deserves honesty, not recycled lies. Progress is visible. The people can see it. And no amount of noise can rewrite that truth”.

“If they don’t take care, the election will end in court, and I saw security discrepancies, security problems, so the NPP primaires which will be on 31st January, Mr Tesite was going as if he had won, I saw men of God praying, and it was switched, and I saw Dr Bawumia.

Dr Bawumia, there is a lot of work to do, may the will of the lord be done”.

“My best friends are moslems and I tell you…The good ones are super super good.”

Watch MP go down on his knees to praise Mahama for the swift commencement of Goaso and Tepa road

0

Haruna Mohammed, the member of parliament for Asunafo North, has gone down on his knees praising President John Mahama for the swift commencement of a major road project in his constituency.

The lawmaker in a viral video asserted that the Goaso and Tepa road project was just awarded in three months under the Mahama government’s big push initiative, but the contractors are already asphalting the road.

Haruna Mohammed boldly highlighted that the Goaso and Tepa road was the main reason the people of Ahafo voted against the NPP government.

Speaking in the viral video during the ongoing works on the Goaso and Tepa road, Haruna Mohammed stated, “God bless Mahama, God should make him bigger.

I am so happy that even my white shirt I will roll on the floor with it to thank President Mahama and the NDC”.  

This road, in particular, is the reason why the people of Ahafo voted against the NPP. This contract was awarded just three months ago”.  

Still on the Big Push, President Mahama has made a bold declaration that Ghana will have the best roads in West Africa within the next 24 months under the Big Push Initiative.

According to John Mahama, his government is dedicated to constructing more roads over the next two years, with the aim of making transportation safer and more efficient.

Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony of the 195-kilometre Wenchi–Bole–Sawla–Wa Road, President Mahama stated, “I wish to repeat my apology and regret to the people of Ghana that with the start of the big push, the whole of Ghana is going to be a construction site for the next two years.

Wherever in this county you go, the road will be under construction, so I ask the Ghanaians to be patient with us and to accept the inconvenience.

Twenty-four months after the launch of the Big Push, you will have the best roads in West Africa”.

He further added, “For the past few years, this strategic artery has been allowed to deteriorate. Potholes, failed pavements, and broken drains have made travel difficult and hazardous.

Vehicle operating costs have risen by nearly 40%, and travel time between Wenchi, Sawla, and Wa can take up to eight hours. Because of the slow pace of movement, armed robberies have also become common. This is unacceptable in modern Ghana.”

Meanwhile, the Association of Road Contractors has praised the Mahama administration for clearing part of the arrears owed to road contractors.

John Afful, the former Chairman of the Association, stated, “The initial assurance was that some funds would be released to reduce the debt, and we have seen progress. The Minister of Roads has indicated that over GH¢5 has been paid into outstanding projects, with contractors encouraged to return to site. This is very welcoming, and we are already seeing some contractors resume work,” he said.

“At least something is being done, and if this continues, we will be grateful because the arrears will keep reducing,” he added.

“Loss of lives, bloodshed, division” –  Rev Owusu-Bempah drops prophecy ahead of NPP’s flagbearer race

0

Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, the Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, has dropped a prophecy ahead of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries on January 31, 2026.

According to the man of God, if care is not taken, the NPP primaries will be chaotic with bloodshed, people losing their lives, leading to division in the party.

Speaking during the 2025 31st Night Service, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah stated, “NPP, please listen to this. Don’t despise what I’m saying to you… I saw an image which had human characteristics; it was like a human being. And this personality was standing in the midst of the contestants who were contesting in the flagbearership race.

“I saw that the personality, the image standing in the midst of the contestants, was bleeding, and I was asking God, what is the significance of this? And God said to me that the party’s election, if care is not taken and they are not careful enough, will become chaotic and there will be bloodshed, and some people will lose their lives in the process, and it will lead to division in the party,” he said.

He added, “Don’t despise what I’m saying. This is not politics; I’m not doing politics here. This is about the lives of people.”

Also, Isaac Owusu-Bempah has warned of a possible coup attempt against President John Dramani Mahama by certain foreign elements.

He, however, highlighted that the coup will not be successful.

Rev Owusu Bempah stated, “Certain people have planned, and some of the people who are planning, or have planned, are foreigners who will come into Ghana. What I am saying is something I saw, that they entered this nation when we were not conscious of ourselves as a nation. All of a sudden, we heard there was a coup d’état”

He added, “Those who are planning that evil and want to stage a coup in this country, this is a warning to you because you will not succeed. And so we will pray about it, but the security agencies we have in this nation must be vigilant.”

Meanwhile, Ghanaian prophets have been left divided following their conflicting 2026 prophecies regarding the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential election on January 31, 2026.

Some Ghanaian prophets have revealed that the former vice president and NPP flagbearer for the 2024 elections, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will emerged victories; others also stressed that Kennedy Agyapong, the former Assin Central MP, will be declared victorious.

In the short 32-second video compilation of the Prophets prophets shared on social media, Prophet Roja stated, “Kennedy has won the election handsdown”.

Nigel Gaisie also stated, “I saw Dr Bawumia take it”.

Also, the General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun, said, “Bawumia will not lead the New Patriotic Party”.

Prophet Elijah King, “I saw Bawumia as the winner of the NPP presidential seat”.

Subsequently, another man of God in the video stated, “I saw Hon Ken leading the NPP to become president”.

Rev Owusu Bempah added, “ Dr Bawumia say he wants to be president in this country, we shall see?”

Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, commonly known as Prophet Uche, the Founder-Leader of Creator’s House Chapel, maintained, “ I saw Bawumia winning the primaries”.

“Sell your properties and come and buy Adom Nyame” – Prophet Adom Kyei urged church members

0

Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, the Founder and Leader of the Believers Worship Centre, has urged his church members to sell their properties and buy Adom Nyame.

The man of God made this known as his congregation prepared for the 31st Watch Night service.

According to Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, after his church members buy Adom Nyame, they would experience God’s glory in their lives.

Speaking to his congregation in a viral video shared, Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah stated, “Listen to me; sell all your properties and come and buy Adom Nyame, because that is what I am offering tonight. After buying Adom Nyame, people around you will witness what the Lord will do through you. You will also prosper”.

“Considering all the testimonies being shared in this house, if I were to take your offerings and tithes, it would imply that the God I am following isn’t able to provide. So, sell your properties and buy Adom Nyame.

“I won’t plan to extort money from you, and I will never beg to eat. I won’t create fear or panic to take your money. This is the Adom Nyame I have possessed,” he added.

Meanwhile, Godsbrain Smart Nkansah, popularly known as Captain Smart, some months ago quizzed Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah on why he would be selling Yesu Mogya in church.

Captain Smart noted that Adom Kyei Duah is exploiting his congregation for profit by selling ‘Yesu Mogya’ in church.

He highlighted that the man of God is doing business in his church and must be taxed by the government.

Captain Smart further recounted how a woman who was suffering from high blood pressure abandoned her prescribed medication to rely on ‘Yesu Mogya’ for miraculous healing.

According to Captain Smart, if he were president, such acts would not be tolerated.

He argued that religious leaders who profit from their congregations under the guise of spirituality should be held accountable.

Speaking on his show Onua Maakye, Captain Smart stated, “Physically, Adom Kyei-Duah is older than me, but spiritually, he knows I’m older. How can you be selling Yesu Mogya in church? There’s a woman I knew who was a BP patient. Instead of her taking her medicine, she was taking Yesu Mogya.

“If I were president of Ghana, this nonsense wouldn’t be allowed. Nobody would be able to sell oil in church. If a pastor sold ‘Yesu Mogya’ during services, I would treat it like a business and make them pay tax,” Captain Smart stated.

Also, Ghanaian gospel artiste Diana Asamoah has labelled Adom Kyei-Duah as an anti-Christ, and by 2028, his church will collapse.

She further claimed Adom Kyei-Duah isn’t a true man of God.

In a video shared on social media, Diana Asamoah stated, “Listen to me, you anti-Christ, I am going to let you know that whatever you are doing is all anti-Christ spirits. I have seen what you have been doing. You have been arresting pastors in this country. I want to tell you that I am ready for you”.

“By 2028, your church will collapse. You have already informed us that your ministry is not a church, but a movement; therefore, it will likely collapse by 2028. Members of the NPP shouldn’t be scared by his words”, she added.

“Bawumia or Ken” – Watch Ghanaian Prophets conflict each other over who wins NPP’s flagbearer race

Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, commonly known as Prophet Uche, the Founder-Leader of Creator’s House Chapel, maintained, “ I saw Bawumia winning the primaries”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the viral video of the Prophet conflicting with each other wrote, “Roja prophesied that Bawumia will win the primaries and now saying Kennedy will win. So which one should we take? When one happens, he will be saying that I said it, I said it. They must be careful”.

“Certainly, many of them aren’t speaking the mind of God. This is not new if you read the Bible. Many of these people may be using Word of Wisdom and other sources of spiritual assistance, other than the only true God, Elohim. Some are influenced by anger, money and other benefits they expect to receive.

This is why discernment is crucial. God is not confused. There are just many people using His name wrongly for their own purposes”, a netizen asserted.

One X user added, “So far as there are true prophets, there would certainly be false prophets, and the false ones would always outnumber the true ones in a country not governed by biblical laws. What has hod got to do with who leads who?”,

“Hmmm, sometimes I wish the power of God worked so fast, like what was happening in the Old Testament. Na thunder strike some of us who used God’s name to lie apampemu. Lord has mercy on us, for we don’t know what we are doing”, a netizen added.

A netizen added, “One God, many interpretations. Do you not wonder if these men of God truly hear from God? What God is interested in the politics of poor Ghana to the extent of revealing who will win some local elections 😉 Lord, have mercy”.

Additionally, an X user added, “I only know one thing that God is not the author of confusion but of peace in all churches of the saints. We shall surely be there to see who the liars are”

Meanwhile, a new poll by the Global InfoAnalytics has revealed  Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is in a commanding lead in the NPP Flagbearer race.

The poll revealed that Dr Bawumia has now taken a 73% lead among NPP delegates, with Kennedy Agyapong in second place with 19% and Dr Bryan Acheampong at 5%.

Dr Yaw Osei Adutwun and Kwabena Agyei Agyapong follow with 2% and 1% respectively.
