I still haven’t received an invitation for John Mahama’s inauguration despite all my sacrifice – Powerful spiritualist, Kwaku Bonsam disappointed in NDC
Kwaku Bonsam, has expressed his deep disappointment with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after claiming that he has not received an invitation to the inauguration of John Mahama, the party’s presidential candidate.
Speaking on Kessben FM’s Breaking News with Nyakoh Aboronomah, Kwaku Bonsam, known for his powerful spiritual influence, revealed that despite his crucial support for the NDC during their election campaign, he feels sidelined and disrespected by the party.
Kwaku Bonsa, a well-known spiritualist with a significant following, has long been associated with the NDC. Over the years, he has provided spiritual guidance and support to the party, claiming that he made personal sacrifices to aid their electoral success. Bonsa’s contributions were not only spiritual but also involved a deep personal commitment. He went so far as to suggest that his actions were key to the NDC’s ability to garner votes, stating that his sacrifices were in alignment with the party’s vision for the country. His support, he believes, was pivotal during the campaign season, and he expected to be acknowledged for it.
The spiritualist’s disappointment is not only due to the absence of an invitation but also because he feels his sacrifices have not been duly acknowledged by the NDC leadership. He mentioned that many of his supporters were surprised by the oversight, as they viewed his involvement as an essential aspect of the NDC’s efforts.
In Ghanaian politics, spiritualists and traditional healers often play a significant role, providing counsel and support to political figures. Their contributions are believed to extend beyond mere symbolism and can be seen as a form of power that shapes public opinion and political outcomes. For many in Ghana, the intersection of spiritualism and politics is an accepted reality, and figures like Kwaku Bonsa hold considerable sway in local and national affairs.
While some may dismiss spiritualists as having little tangible impact on political processes, many in the NDC and other political parties have sought out their expertise. Political candidates often consult with spiritualists to gain an edge over their opponents, and in some cases, these figures are credited with influencing election results. Thus, Kwaku Bonsa’s frustration stems from the expectation that his input, both spiritual and personal, would be acknowledged in the same way a traditional political ally or supporter would be.
In the world of politics, the balance between gratitude and expectation can sometimes be delicate. Kwaku Bonsa’s disappointment may serve as a warning to political parties about the importance of maintaining good relationships with all their supporters, whether they are traditional political backers or figures from the spiritual realm.
