He has however contradicted himself on countless occasions by his reference to deities and daring his critics to swear by river gods.<br \/>\nDuncan-Williams commands a large following and respect in Christian circles but despite his prophecy of Jerry Rawlings, not many Ghanaian perceive the ex-President as one who himself has the fear of God.<br \/>\nHe has been widely accused of orchestrating several abductions and assassinations during the nineteen plus years he served as Ghana\u2019s Head of State.<br \/>\nSource: Day break<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, founder and leader of the Action Faith Ministries, says God has told him that former President Jerry Rawlings would become a Christian priest in the near future.
