Speaking in front of a large congregation during a recent church service, the popular pastor recounted his past feud with the renowned politician and businessman.
Bishop Daniel Obinim noted that during his tense public feud with Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the latter made a severe allegation about him engaging in a criminal act with health professionals at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, which he could have sued him in court and earned at least $10 million in damages.
He said the former Assin Central constituency MP's allegation also significantly damaged the reputation of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital since he failed to provide any substantial evidence to support his claims.
Bishop Obinim also questioned why the authorities at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital failed to take legal action against Kennedy Agyapong despite the severity of the allegations.
He noted that he and the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital officials could take legal action against Kennedy Agyapong since the allegations could have deterred pregnant women from visiting the facility for medical assistance.

The International God's Way Church founder also questioned why many Ghanaians continued to like the politician despite him making allegations which negatively impacted him and the hospital.
Bishop Daniel Obinim also shared that his colleague and friend Prophet Nigel Gaisie called him on several occasions and informed him that he would never end his feud with Kennedy Agyapong as his allegations about him caused numerous influential personalities to depart the Prophetic Hill Chapel.
The popular pastor stated that he could have pursued a lawsuit against Kennedy Agyapong, as he was wealthier than Anas Aremeyaw Anas and possessed visas to travel around the world.
Bishop Obinim also shared that he regretted not pursuing a defamation lawsuit against Kennedy Agyapong after hearing the outcome of Anas' case against him.
