Kwadwo Safo’s mother addresses Apostle Safo succession

In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, Kwadwo Safo’s Jnr’s mother addressed the question of who Apostle Safo chose as his successor.

She claimed that her late husband selected her son as his eventual successor due to a certain spiritual prowess he showed as a child.

Kwadwo Safo Jnr’s mother stated that Apostle Safo said many times that he only had faith in humans who could walk backwards, and her son did that when he was seven months old.

"When he was seven months, he suddenly stood up and started walking backwards. I think it answered something. His father used to often say that does not have faith in anyone unless they walk backwards. So as my son started walking backwards, I called him to come and watch and told him he should start believing in my son.” she said.
