With more than two years to go for the 2012 general elections the political barometer seems to have been triggered, waking everyone from slumber.

Yesterday while the president was inspecting the Tema harbour, the man of God who cut the Ofankor witch tree in November 2007 to pave way for the construction of the Accra-Nsawam hit the ground running with news about who leads Ghana in the next few years.

This time around he says God has revealed to him in a vision that President J.E.A. Mills will lose the National Democratic Congress (NDC) primary to Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings wife of Ex President J.J Rawlings in the race for the flagbearer of the NDC towards the 2012 general elections.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Guide in Accra yesterday, Apostle Williams Opoku, leader of Israel Pentecostal Church in Amasaman in the Ga West District of the Greater Accra Region claimed that he saw a revelation: “God has revealed to me that ultimately, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will win the 2012 presidential elections”.

He said he had a vision from God that the political context will be a straight fight between Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Mrs. Rawlings and warned “if the NPP continues to live in disunity, Mrs. Rawlings will make history by becoming the first female President in 2013.

“God has sent me to tell Ghanaians that it is Nana Akufo-Addo and the former First Lady who will be fighting for the presidency in 2012 but ultimately Nana Akufo-Addo will be sworn in as President on January 7, 2013”.

Asked why he was predicting victory for Mrs. Rawlings over President Mills, the man of God said “God became annoyed with President Mills and his people when at his swearing-in on January 7, 2009; they refused to allow religious people to pray at the ceremony.”

“God has predicted that President Mills is going to become a one-time President”.
On the issue of why he was predicting Mrs. Rawlings when the former First Lady had not declared her intentions to contest, Apostle Opoku said “she will join the race later and triumph over President Mills.”

Apostle Opoku when asked if he was not expressing his opinion cloaked as a ‘vision’ maintained that god had spoken to him.

“God has revealed to me and asked me to warn the NPP that the time is not ripe for Mr. Alan Kyerematen. He should not fight Nana Akufo-Addo in this race. He should allow Nana Akufo-Addo to go for the 2012 elections.”

“God says Mr. Kyerematen will definitely be the President of Ghana later, so he should not contest Nana Akufo-Addo now. If he does now Mrs. Rawlings will surprise all of them”.

“If the NPP fights among themselves, God will give victory to the NDC’.
He said “the 2012 general elections is going to be peaceful and the NPP will win it.”
