The NPP spokesperson claimed that some elders of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) may face divine punishment for not opposing the controversial National Cathedral project.
In an interview on a Ghanaian talk show, Gyewu-Appiah boldly shared the prophecy he had received that morning concerning the project.
According to him, a pastor warned that if the NDC fails to vocally oppose the controversial National Cathedral project, God will descend on some of the party's elders.
In his words:
"A pastor called me and said that if the NDC people, the elders in the NDC, who are not taking a strong stance against the National Cathedral, are touched by God, they will start dying one by one."
NPP spokesperson warns NDC against divine punishment
The National Cathedral has been a point of contention since its inception, with the two main political formations in the country, the ruling NDC and the opposition NPP, taking different stands on the project.
A section of Ghanaians view it as a necessary national landmark that will serve as a place for national worship, reflection, and tourism. However, in recent days, there have been rumours of corruption and misappropriation of funds.
Gyewu-Appiah further explained that the NDC’s overall opposition to the cathedral project is not only a political stance but also a "trap" set by the party.

He claimed that the NDC wished to identify those who truly supported the former president, Nana Akufo-Addo, and his ambitious project.
He argued that the NDC's stance was calculated to see which pastors, elders, and key figures would speak out in favour of the cathedral.

He claimed payments were made before official agreements and called for an investigation into Akufo-Addo’s role.
Owusu also demanded that the National Cathedral project be scrapped, calling it a misuse of taxpayers’ money.
