Using prophecy in election results and football prediction is a form of cognitive distortion – General Manager of Kessben TV/FM, Mr. Andrew Danso-Aninkora
The General Manager of Kessben TV/FM, Mr. Andrew Danso-Aninkora, has criticized the growing use of prophecy to predict the outcomes of elections and football matches, describing it as a form of cognitive distortion.
He asserted in a Facebook post following the just-ended NPP presidential primaries, which saw Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia emerge victorious with 56% of the vote.
His comments came in the wake of several failed prophecies by some pastors who had confidently predicted different outcomes ahead of the primaries. According to Mr. Danso-Aninkora, applying prophecy to competitive events such as elections and sports is no different from fortune telling and should be treated as such.
Using “prophecy” in modern days to suggest the outcomes of polls, football matches and other competitions is a form of cognitive distortion; the kind associated with fortune telling … Those who believe in them believe in fortune telling and those who practice them are fortune tellers. End of public announcement. He said in a Facebook post.
As the NPP primaries demonstrated, outcomes are shaped by strategy, numbers, and human decision-making, not spiritual predictions.
His remarks reflect a growing call for critical thinking and accountability, especially in an era where prophecy is increasingly used to influence public opinion in politics and sports.
