Prophet Azuka has stirred controversy with recent comments regarding the health of Ghana’s Vice President, Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, who has been flown abroad for medical treatment. In a provocative statement, he suggested that her health struggles may be more than just physical, claiming, “Her soul is gone, and I ask you, why is it that when the Fantes are selected as Vice President, they die?” His remarks have raised eyebrows and sparked debates about the spiritual implications of her condition.
Azuka linked the challenges faced by Fante Vice Presidents to what he described as a lack of spiritual understanding, despite their high levels of education. He referenced the deaths of former leaders, including Professor Atta Mills and Amissah Arthur, both of whom passed away during their time in office. He rhetorically questioned, “Where is this woman’s soul, except with God?” His statements have fueled a conversation about the intersection of spirituality and politics in Ghana, with some questioning whether spiritual factors play a role in the health and well-being of public figures.
In contrast, Azuka emphasized the spiritual resilience of the Ashanti people, remarking that “there’s no Ashanti person whose soul you can easily take.” This comment has been interpreted by some as a suggestion that Ashanti people possess a unique spiritual strength that shields them from harm.
Azuka also addressed the criticism he faces as a prophet, saying, “Sometimes, when you speak about spirituality to some people, they try to insult you. Those who insult are unwise. As for me, though I’m a prophet, if I choke, people will kill me.” His words reflect the challenges faced by spiritual leaders in Ghana, who often encounter skepticism and resistance from those who do not share their beliefs.
