Pastor Eric Oduro Asiamah, the husband of the imprisoned preacher Nana Agradaa, and politician Hopeson Adorye have intensified their fight with a scathing warning that has sparked uproar in Ghana's political and religious circles. In a recent tirade, Adorye questioned Asiamah's authority as a pastor and urged him to stay in charge of Agradaa's Heaven Way Champion Ministries, threatening to hold him accountable as well.

Agradaa's 15-year prison term for scamming congregants through a money-doubling scheme is the source of the tension. Asiamah has openly pledged to continue the church's operations since her conviction, referring to the current state of affairs as "normal" and encouraging members to continue praying. Adorye, however, who has long been an outspoken opponent of Agradaa and her cabinet, reacted with contempt and mistrust.
According to reports, Adorye said, "Go and continue her church if you're a man." You'll see, too. You become a preacher, but when? His comments raised questions about Asiamah's spiritual background and suggested that deception and manipulation have corrupted the church as a whole.

Reactions to Adorye's warning have been conflicting. While detractors contend that Adorye is merely speaking truth to power, supporters of Agradaa and Asiamah see it as an assault on religious freedom and individual fortitude. Defamation lawsuits, social media taunts, and judicial drama have been the main sources of the months-long conflict between the Adoryes and Agradaa's side.
For his part, Asiamah has maintained his composure in public while defending his wife and the church's goal. However, Adorye's challenge calls into doubt whether Asiamah can or should take Agradaa's place, as well as the future of Heaven Way Champion Ministries.

Both sides are reluctant to give up in the ongoing conflict between pulpit and politics. Furthermore, the distinction between public accountability and spiritual leadership becomes increasingly hazy as Ghana observes.
