Contrary to the prophecy by Dr. Mensa Otabil that something evil may befall the nation in coming weeks, Security Analyst, Emmanuel Bombande is rather optimistic peace will prevail after the Supreme Court’s pronouncement on the ongoing election petition.
According to Mr. Bombande, based on his analysis on the ground, the declarations by the Court will “on the contrary, see democracy deeply entrenched in Ghana”.
The General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Dr. Mensa Anamua Otabil, on Sunday, said he could sense evil befalling Ghana within the next one month if Christians do not wake up and pray for the country.
“I have a sense of heaviness in my spirit concerning the destiny of this country that there is something heavy ready to fall upon this country; that if we don’t take charge of that, we will be in a different state a month from now,” he stated in his sermon to the congregation at Christ Temple on Sunday July 14, 2013.
But Mr. Bombande, who is also the Executive Director for West Africa Network for Peace Building (WANEP), told JOYNEWS, the leadership of both National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party have demonstrated massive commitment to ensuring peace after the verdict is declared.
He said the two parties have been working closely with the National Peace Council in educating their followers on the need to accept the outcome of the judges’ ruling.
Shy of engaging in any encounter with the prophecy of the man of God due to his limited knowledge on spiritual matters, Mr. Bombande will, however, not rule out the possibility of people alluding to anxiety ahead of the court’s ruling.
“The underlining optimism – not because of the analysis done by my organization alone but those done by other organizations working in support of the Peace Council – will prevail,” he maintained.
