Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, widely known as Agradaa, says she would be content missing heaven because she got the rare opportunity to hug President John Dramani Mahama.
The former fetish priestess made the comment after Tuesday’s National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving held in Accra, where thousands gathered under the theme: “Reset, Reflect and Renew for National Prosperity.”
“I’m so excited to be here today, especially to see the President in person,” she said in a post-event interview. “What he has done is beautiful. It shows vision. I had the opportunity to hug him today, and honestly, even if I don’t make it to heaven, I feel okay.”
Agradaa praised the former president’s decision to organise a national prayer event, calling it a “remarkable and godly initiative” that was both spiritually significant and timely.
The interfaith gathering, which drew participation from Christian and Muslim leaders, included worship sessions, collective prayers, and prophetic declarations from clergy and religious figures across Ghana.
President Mahama, who was present throughout the programme, joined worshippers in solemn reflection, calling for moral renewal and unity in the face of national challenges.
The National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving has increasingly become a symbol of spiritual solidarity in Ghana, offering a platform for faith-based intervention in national discourse.
Agradaa’s enthusiastic reaction has stirred conversations online, with many noting her emotional transformation from traditional priestess to outspoken Christian figure—and now, presidential admirer.
Her remarks, though lighthearted, underscore the emotional impact the event had on participants.
The prayer event is part of broader efforts to rekindle the nation’s spiritual consciousness, as Ghana seeks collective healing and direction in its political and socio-economic journey.
