His decision to engage with influential Pastors has sparked a lively debate, especially following a meeting that some perceive as a tactical move to bolster his support among Christian voters.<\/p>\n<p>During a broadcast on Okay Fm monitored by MyNewsGh.com, Vim Lady expressed skepticism about his decision to include pastor Owusu Bempah in his strategy, raising concerns that this could alienate other key allies within the religious community. Vim Lady\u2019s commentary underscores the intricate dance of loyalty, strategy, and influence that defines Ghanaian politics, particularly in the context of an impending election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Mahama is doing these 61 days left for the December 7 election is to win the Christians to himself, and he\u2019s being very strategic,\u201d she remarked, emphasizing the importance of the Christian vote in determining electoral outcomes. However, her approval turned to caution as she highlighted the backlash that could arise from Bempah\u2019s involvement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are a die-hard NDC supporter like Nigel Gaisie and Badu Kobi, you\u2019ll be peeved,\u201d she noted, pointing out the longstanding loyalty these pastors have shown to the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Their dedication stands in stark contrast to the unpredictable nature of political allegiances, which can shift rapidly in pursuit of power.<\/p>\n<p>As tensions rise within the party, Vim Lady\u2019s insights reflect the delicate balancing act Mahama must perform to secure his support base. \u201cNDC must play their cards very well with the Owusu Bempah issue, or else it might backfire,\u201d she warned, underscoring the potential ramifications of alienating loyal supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Her concerns echoed among other influential voices within the Christian community, including Sam Korankye Ankrah, who has also expressed apprehension about Bempah\u2019s role in Mahama\u2019s campaign. \u201cInformation available to me states that Badu Kobi, Nigel Gaisie, and others are not happy,\u201d she revealed, highlighting a sense of unease brewing among key allies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Mahama,[L] exchanging pleasantries with Rev.
