In a viral statement circulating online on May 18, 2026, Prophet Badu Kobi declared: “I borrowed money to carry out spiritual assignments for the NDC to win power, but they’re yet to pay me.”
The comments have triggered intense reactions across social media, with many Ghanaians debating the role of religion, prophecy, and spiritual influence in Ghanaian politics.
Political And Religious Debate Intensifies
The statement has reignited longstanding conversations about the growing intersection between politics and spiritual leadership in Ghana. Over the years, several religious figures have openly declared prophecies concerning elections, political parties, and national leadership.
Critics argue that such claims risk deepening political tensions and undermining democratic institutions, while supporters believe spiritual leaders have the right to contribute to national discourse.
So far, there has been no official public response from the NDC regarding Prophet Badu Kobi’s remarks.

Religion continues to play a significant role in Ghana’s political culture, influencing public perception and campaign narratives. Statements like these often spark nationwide conversations because they touch on faith, power, money, and political influence simultaneously.
With Ghana’s political climate remaining highly active, the controversy surrounding Prophet Badu Kobi’s claims is likely to remain a trending national discussion.
