Ghanaian Prophet Issues Caution to President Mahama Over Son’s Safety Following Alleged Vision

 

A Ghanaian clergyman, Prophet William Baffour Asare, has stirred public debate after issuing a prophetic warning involving President John Dramani Mahama and his son, Sharaf Mahama.

The General Overseer of Gethsemane Glory Evangelical Ministry International made the declaration during his church’s 31st December Watch Night Service. In a video that has since circulated widely on social media, the prophet claimed he had received a vision indicating that individuals with malicious intentions were plotting harm against Sharaf Mahama in 2026.

According to Prophet Asare, the vision prompted him to caution President Mahama to closely monitor his son’s movements and ensure that his personal security is given priority, particularly during public appearances. He emphasised that his message was meant as a warning rather than a prediction of inevitability.

The video has generated significant online engagement, recording more than 2,000 likes and dozens of comments at the time of reporting. Public reaction has been mixed, with some social media users urging the president to heed the warning, while others questioned the appropriateness of making such prophecies public.

The prophecy comes against the backdrop of an earlier directive from the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations. In August 2025, the Presidential Envoy, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, instructed religious leaders to formally submit any prophecies or spiritual insights of national importance to his office for review. He explained that the directive applies particularly to revelations concerning political leaders, governance, national security, or public stability, and is intended to promote responsible spiritual leadership during uncertain times.

Reacting to Prophet Asare’s declaration, some commentators criticised him for not following the official process. Others, however, expressed support, offering prayers for the safety of the president’s family and praising the prophet for speaking out.

This incident adds to a growing public conversation around prophetic declarations in Ghana, especially those touching on national leadership and security. In recent months, several prophecies shared during end-of-year church services have gained widespread attention, reigniting debates about accountability, regulation, and the role of religion in public life.
