Predictions two years ago by a Kumasi based Islamic Spiritualist, Sheikh Mallam Musah, that 2016 flag bearer of the opposition New Patriotic is not spiritually endowed to be president is steadily gaining currency as other renowned men of God of different faith have started confirming the �bitter� prophecy. Prior to the 2012 elections, the Kumasi-based seer, Sheikh Mallam Musah consistently predicted Akufo-Addo�s defeat and similar defeats in future anytime he seeks election to the highest office of the land. Many Ghanaians perhaps began taking the Sheikh�s predictions serious when Nana Akufo-Addo validated one of seer�s prophecies; that the NPP flag bearer would lose the last election but will reject the outcome. Although kingpins and supporters of the NPP made nonsense of the respected seer�s predictions even after it had been confirmed after the 2012 elections, other men of God have begun announcing Nana Akufo-Addo�s third time defeat at the presidency. While supporters of the NPP are relishing Nana Akufo-Addo would return the party to power in the next general elections, the Founder and Leader of the Church of Rabbi, Odifour Kwabena Tawiah, thinks otherwise. Reiterating Sheikh Mallam Musah�s prophecies, the renowned prophet of the gospel said the twice defeated NPP presidential candidate will lead the NPP into a third defeat on the trot because he lacks the spiritual backing to occupy the highest office of the land. The well-known man of God, whose prophecies is said to have manifested in the last 28 years, made this prophecy at the 31st night watch service at the Church of Rabbi headquarters. Incidentally, at the same time Odifour Kwabena Tawiah was making the prophecy, his colleague man of God and General Overseer of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah, echoed similar sentiments and even added more frightening prophecy to a highly packed auditorium. According to Rev Owusu Bempah if the NPP does not take care it will lose the 2016 elections and the will make the end of the party�s dream of coming to power ever again. While blaming this on what he described as �one person whose heart is very hardened�, the Glorious Word Power Ministry International overseer broke the camel�s back when he stated that a big funeral will befall the NPP that will open a way for a new flag bearer election. Odifour Kwabena Tawiah, however, cautioned the NPP not to make nonsense out of his predictions because the doom that befell the party in 2012 may repeat itself if the right steps are not taken. He called on Nana Addo and those close to him to take the necessary steps to avert any misfortune that would thwart the NPP�s efforts in securing power in 2016. These prophecies only goes to confirm previous predications by Sheikh Mallam Musah, in the run-up to the 2012 elections that Nana Akufo-Addo can never become president of Ghana. Reaffirming his predictions after Nana Akufo-Addo�s defeat at the 2012 polls, Sheikh Mallam Musah told that The Al-Hajj it would be an exercise in futility or better still �trying to harvest dust to build a mud house� if Nana Akufo-Addo should decides to contest for President again. In a follow up email to the Mamobi Offices of The Al-Hajj, the Islamic spiritualist wrote �Another essential issue that I will want to discuss with you is the fact that during the 2012 general election I indicated that Nana Addo will lose the election and will not be prepared to accept his defeat and a lot of critics called me and threatened me and also chastised me for that and it finally came to pass. It isn�t that he is not knowledgeable enough to lead the nation Ghana, the Good Lord has not given him that destiny to Rule GHANA.� He warned that should Nana Akufo-Addo go against the orders of the Almighty Allah/God, the shame that will befall him would be catastrophic to his life. �They have another election ahead of them and Nana Addo should do himself the good not to contest again this time round because the disgrace that will befall him this time round will be so dangerous and severe in his political career. NPP national executives and council of elders should advise him for naturally he is not destined to lead the party to victory in any general election organize in this country. They should do well and change their national secretary for he is not the right candidate for the job,� he stated. However, the former Abuakwa South MP sidestepped all the warnings and went ahead to secure the party�s 2016 flag bearer slot for the third time, if even at an advanced age with its associated health challenges.
