Rev. Owusu Bempah Regrets Past Criticism of John Mahama, Calls Him a Good Man

Founder and leader of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah, has revealed that his past criticism of former President John Dramani Mahama was influenced by misinformation. Speaking to his congregation, the popular pastor admitted that his dislike for Mahama was based on false claims made by Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.

Rev. Owusu Bempah expressed deep regret for his previous stance against Mahama, acknowledging that he had been misled. According to him, he realized Mahama was a kind-hearted leader only after experiencing similar false accusations against himself.

“President John Dramani Mahama is a good man with a good heart. I am always saddened that we did not know this in the past, and we spoke against him and condemned him because of what Chairman Wontumi and others told me,” he stated.

The outspoken preacher directly accused Chairman Wontumi of spreading falsehoods about the former president, leading him to develop an unjustified dislike for Mahama.

“Chairman Wontumi is a liar because the things he said about President Mahama made me not like him, not knowing he was telling lies. I realized he was a liar when he lied about me,” Owusu Bempah added.

Owusu Bempah’s comments have sparked discussions among political observers and social commentators. Many believe his admission highlights how misinformation can shape public perception of political figures. Others see it as a significant moment in Ghana’s political landscape, considering Owusu Bempah’s past open support for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

While some Ghanaians commend the preacher for speaking his truth, others are calling for a broader discussion on political propaganda and its effects on national unity.

As the country prepares for the upcoming elections, Rev. Owusu Bempah’s revelation is expected to fuel further conversations about political integrity and the need for independent judgment in assessing leaders.
