Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries, has taken a sharp and public jab at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, praising John Dramani Mahama’s approachable style in contrast to what he describes as an air of superiority in the current administration.
Speaking recently, Rev. Owusu-Bempah said that Mahama wouldn’t ask people to stand before greeting him, a thinly veiled critique of how he says some leaders expect to be treated with deference. The pastor’s comments quickly caught attention, stirring reactions from Ghanaians as political tensions simmer ahead of upcoming national events.
The remarks highlight how deep the political divides have become, with even religious figures now weighing in on leadership styles and expectations of respect. Many saw the pastor’s comparison as more than just about etiquette — but as commentary on humility and how leaders relate to ordinary citizens.
While Rev. Owusu-Bempah has praised both leaders in other contexts, this latest statement has reignited debate about presidential comportment and public perception, especially at a moment when Ghana’s political landscape is increasingly charged.
