Any pastor who has publicly attacked pastor mensah otabil over his remarks owes him an apology

According to report by Utvghana on Sunday 8, November 2026, Ghanaian media personality Baaba Cann has stated that prophets who publicly criticised Pastor Mensa Otabil following his controversial remarks about prophets owe the respected clergyman an apology.

Baaba Cann expressed her position amid ongoing public discussions surrounding comments made by the founder and General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Pastor Mensa Otabil, which reportedly generated mixed reactions within the Christian community.

According to Baaba Cann, religious leaders who openly attacked Pastor Otabil over his observations should reconsider their reactions and acknowledge the need to apologise to him. Her comments suggest that some of the criticisms directed at the renowned preacher may have been excessive or unnecessary.

The debate surrounding Pastor Otabil’s remarks has attracted considerable attention, particularly among Christians, church leaders and social media users. While some individuals have supported his position, others have expressed disagreement, leading to conversations about the responsibilities of religious leaders and the importance of constructive engagement within the Christian community.

Baaba Cann’s intervention has added another dimension to the discussion, as she has challenged prophets who took their disagreements with Pastor Otabil into the public domain to reflect on their conduct.

Her comments have also reignited conversations about mutual respect, accountability and the manner in which disagreements should be handled among prominent figures in Ghana’s religious community.

The controversy highlights the influence of prominent religious leaders in Ghana and how their public statements can generate widespread discussions among their followers and the general public.

Meanwhile, Baaba Cann’s position is likely to attract further reactions from individuals who have followed the disagreement, particularly those who have expressed strong opinions about Pastor Otabil’s comments and the responses from other prophets.
