The Ashanti Regional Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Martin Ameyaw, has called on Prophet Isaac Owusu Bempah to stay away from partisan politics and concentrate on his religious ministry amid a growing dispute involving Effiduase-Asokore MP, Dr Nana Ayew Afriyie.
In a zoom interview held on Kessben Maakye show in Accra, Ameyaw strongly rejected allegations attributed to Prophet Owusu Bempah that Dr Ayew Afriyie had planned to mobilize members of the NPP’s Nasara Wing to attack the prophet and his church. He described the allegations as malicious and baseless, insisting that the MP, who serves as a patron of the Ashanti Regional NPP Youth Wing, would not engage in such conduct.
According to him, the Youth Wing has consequently petitioned the National Security Secretariat, Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and Ghana Police Service, asking them to investigate the allegations and invite Prophet Owusu Bempah to provide evidence to substantiate his claims.
Ameyaw further alleged that the controversy forms part of what he sees as Prophet Owusu Bempah’s agenda against the NPP and its flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
He nevertheless acknowledged Owusu Bempah’s religious calling, urging him to concentrate on his ministry rather than become entangled in partisan politics.
“I believe the call of God is on Rev. Owusu Bempah, but he must veer from politics and concentrate on his ministry and not meddle with politics, I plead.
