Everyone needs the touch of God from time to time to be healed and to be empowered for greater works, there’s therefore absolutely nothing wrong if someone who has another's interest at heart is recommending that the first gentleman of Ghana seeks assistance from a powerful man of God as Obinim, who knows? Perhaps through his stickers President Akufo-Addo may just be able to resolve the nation’s woes, this is the posturing of Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo.

“This is someone God has blessed with the anointing. He has given him the power to heal the sick and is helping humanity so what is wrong if someone recommends that go and use some of the stickers which have the power to help you?” he quizzed in an interview on Accra-based Asempa FM.

Mr. Adongo believes the ‘powerful’ man of God, Bishop Daniel Obinim should be arrested if government truly perceives the stickers as evil and bad.

“If the current government are convinced Obinim’s stickers are not helpful to society, they should arrest him”, he disclosed on Asempa Fm”.

Rather than deem it an insult and offensive, the Bolga Central MP believes the President and his government should consider it as the country stands to benefit much more.

“He uses the stickers for a good purpose by giving people strength, healing the sick and helping society as a whole. If the stickers are not good, I am challenging them to go and arrest him so he stops its production because I see nothing wrong in recommending some good for our president and his government because it will benefit all of us”, he insisted.



Background

It would be recalled at the Wa version of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Unity Walk a week ago, Mr. Mahama claimed the ‘super incompetence’ of the current administration could only be cured if they laid hands on stickers of the controversial man of God, Daniel Obinim.

The sticker, which is said to work wonders, was recommended by the former President to the sitting President and his government so they can perform better.

The trend is based on hilarious and outrageous claims people are making and attributing it to a miraculous sticker from Bishop Daniel Obinim, the founder, and leader of International God’s Way Church.

Apparently, church members of Obinim give testimonies at his church regarding the wonderful things the sticker has done for them ever since they bought it. And that has sparked the Obinim Sticker Challenge on social media.



“I have been watching social media lately, and there’s something that has come, and I think it cures everything. It’s the Obinim sticker, the President and his government need an Obinim sticker. If it really works, then I think they need the sticker. So I am saying that we cannot depend on their incompetence, we need to work hard to gain the support of the electorate,” Mahama said.

His comments have been criticized by some elements within the ruling government as they sought to suggest they are undeserving of a statesman.
