The Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, has revealed that his office has received numerous prophecies following a directive for all church and religious leaders in the country to share any prophecies concerning government appointees or other nationally significant matters for deliberation before making them public.

Speaking to Joy News on Thursday, August 14, 2025, he said, “We have received plenty, but I don’t want to put numbers to it.”

Afriyie Ankrah disclosed that the majority of the prophecies lack substance.

“By and large, 70–80% have no substance. Then you look at the rest, the 20%, and sift through, and maybe 2, 3, or 5% may deserve further probing,” he noted.

He stressed that the role of his office extends far beyond reviewing prophecies.

“It’s not a full-time job or an office set up solely to receive prophecies. That’s not how it works. The office has multiple duties. We collaborate with ECOWAS, the African Union, the UN, and locally with various faith bodies—not just Christians,” he explained.

The call for religious leaders to share prophecies or spiritual messages of national importance comes in the wake of a fatal helicopter crash that killed eight people, including the Minister of Defence, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, and the Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, Dr Murtala Ibrahim Mohammed.
