The Presidential envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations, , has urged church leaders to handle prophecies with greater care, a directive that has ignited a national debate over how spiritual revelations should be managed in moments of crisis.
In a statement on Sunday, August 12, 2025, , asked Christian leaders for their prayers, stressing that their role in nation-building is indispensable.
He stressed that the role of faith leaders in Ghana's "spiritual and civic life remains indispensable" and hence urged them to channel sensitive revelations directly to his office. "Any prophecy or spiritual insight of a national nature, especially those with implications for high-profile political leaders, governance, national security, or public stability should be formally relayed to the Office of the Presidential Envoy for urgent review and appropriate escalation," the statement said.
The appeal comes after some predictions of the disaster by Men of God went viral after the August 6 military helicopter crash that killed eight people, including the Minister of Defence, Dr Edward Omane Boamah and Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, Dr Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed.
