Prophet Adu Boahen Reveals Why Akufo-Addo Cried During Secret Meeting Before 2016 Election

The Founder and Head Pastor of Christ Revival Baptist Church (CRBC), Prophet Johnson Adu Boahen, has recounted an alleged encounter between former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and a man said to have placed a curse on him before he became President of Ghana.

According to the prophet, he accompanied Akufo-Addo and several prominent members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the man’s residence in an attempt to secure his forgiveness and have the alleged curse lifted.

Prophet Adu Boahen shared the account during a recent interview, excerpts of which have circulated widely on social media.

He said the incident occurred on the day of the funeral of the late J. B. Danquah-Adu, the former Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, who was murdered in 2016.

The pastor explained that approximately eight people, including Akufo-Addo, former Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, and former Minister of Food and Agriculture Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto, first gathered at Akufo-Addo’s residence before travelling to meet the man.

According to his account, the group proceeded to the individual’s home without security personnel.

He also disclosed that while the other visitors ate during their initial gathering, he declined to join them.

Prophet Adu Boahen described the man as someone with considerable spiritual influence and said he was seated in a spacious hall when the delegation arrived.

He explained that Akufo-Addo, who had a red cloth draped around his neck following the funeral activities, stood up to explain his presence and apologise for wearing the attire.

‘I’m not supposed here this red cloth here but you know what has happened to me. We are just from the funeral grounds and even after here we would go back there. So, forgive me for wearing this red cloth here’,” he narrated.

The former President reportedly told the man that he had come directly from the funeral grounds and would return there after the visit.

He also explained that his visit was partly intended to reconnect with the man after a long period without contact.

However, the pastor said the explanation did not satisfy their host, who reportedly accused Akufo-Addo of showing disrespect by only seeking his attention when he needed spiritual assistance.

The man allegedly warned that despite receiving votes from Ghanaians, Akufo-Addo would never become president because of his perceived lack of respect.

“He (Akufo-Addo) did not even land and the man said, ‘Now you are coming to me. You have no respect. If you want blessings, go to the person who told you to come here. All Ghanaians can vote for you but you would never become president. You have no respect. You would have seen what would have happened’,” the pastor quoted the man as saying.

Prophet Adu Boahen further claimed that the former President became emotional during the exchange, describing it as the first time he had witnessed Akufo-Addo shedding tears.

He said the former President subsequently expressed remorse and promised to establish a nursing training college at the man’s residence as part of efforts to resolve their differences.

However, the pastor admitted that he could not confirm whether the proposed nursing training college was eventually constructed.

According to him, the meeting ended with the man agreeing to put aside his grievances and proposing a celebration to mark the reconciliation.

Prophet Adu Boahen said the other members of the delegation accepted champagne offered during the gathering, but he declined because he had another engagement.

He also recounted that the man appeared to recognise him despite not having been formally introduced.

The pastor added that after the encounter, Akufo-Addo indicated that he would henceforth address him as his prophet.

Although he provided details of the alleged meeting, Prophet Adu Boahen refused to identify the individual accused of placing the curse on Akufo-Addo, describing him only as a person with significant spiritual influence.

He also declined to disclose further information about the encounter, citing security considerations involving the NPP.

The revelation has attracted attention on social media, particularly over the pastor’s claim that Akufo-Addo and some senior party figures sought the intervention of the individual before his eventual rise to the presidency.

Akufo-Addo went on to win the 2016 presidential election, defeating then-incumbent President John Dramani Mahama to become Ghana’s President.
