According to the comedian, Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka had expressed a wish to father a child with a fair-skinned woman, driven by his belief that the child would one day continue the work he had dedicated his life to building.

Akrobeto said prayers and spiritual interventions preceded the child's arrival, and that Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena was the child born out of that process.

Appealing directly to those present, Akrobeto questioned why anyone would choose to disregard the child's connection to the apostle's intentions.

"Apostle Kwadwo Safo prayed for this child to be born so he could succeed him. Can we now abandon him? Let's be wise," he said.

Since his death, debate around his life's work, the direction of the mission he founded, and who should carry his vision forward has remained active among followers and the broader Ghanaian public.
