Kumasi Prophet Dares Jujuman

...Says Ahiable is a joker
Prophet Moses A. Crowther of the Church of God in Kumasi has described the claim by Mr. Tony Ahiable, the self- confessed spiritualist, that his juju propelled the New Patriotic Party (NPP) into power as diabolic.

"Ahiable is joking, and that his threat to leave the party and subsequent ultimatum to meet his demands or unleash a punishment of defeat are nothing but empty threats," adds Crowther.

The prophet, who walked into the offices of Chronicle in Kumasi last week on reading the jujuman's claim in the paper, urged the NPP to ignore Ahiable who, he said, only wants to get undue attention.

The man of God, who claims to have prophesied Dr. Busia's victory in the August 9, 1969 elections, questioned why Ahiable had not made the NPP suffer defeats in the by-elections and dared him to break the NPP's jinx in the by-elections, at least in the pending one at Amenfi West.

"If he has powers to cause a party's defeat in elections, there is one in the offing and I dare him to prove his claim," he said.

Prophet Crowther countered Ahiable's claim, saying President Kufuor's victory in the last elections was divine.

"He (Kufuor) was ordained by Yaweh, the living God, to rule Ghana, and that no earthly creature propelled him into power."

The seer disclosed that President Kufuor had been chosen to continue the good works of Dr. K. A. Busia.

He said like Busia who had been chosen to purge the nation of the evils of the Nkrumah regime, Kufuor's government was to atone for the atrocities of the previous regimes.

A surprised Prophet Crowther, as he is simply called, queried Ahiable for claiming credit for the work of God.

He also attributed the HIPC status of Ghana to Acheampong's National Redemption Council regime, which toppled Dr. Busia's government, chosen by God to lead Ghana.

In another development, the prophet has challenged the Women and Juvenile Unit (WAJU) and the Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) to rise up to educate women on indecent dressing. He said the continued silence over women's indulgence in indecent dressing and other immoral acts thwarted efforts at curbing the rate of HIV/AIDS infection.

Concerned that women should be held in high esteem like the biblical Sarah, Prophet Moses urged WAJU and FIDA to thoroughly investigate the causes of sexual promiscuity among women and find lasting solutions to them.

"This way, the country would be showered with abundant blessings and make the Kufuor-led government the chosen one for Ghanaians in fulfillment of the prophecy," he assured.
