In a video on X, Dr Kweku Oteng attributed his success to divine favour and grace rather than accumulating vast physical wealth.
He also stated that he had never considered himself a wealthy person.
“There was a time it was reported that Dangote said he went to withdraw $1 million and slept by it overnight and that was when he knew he was wealthy. As for me, if for instance someone pays GH¢1 million and I keep it in my room I am unable to sleep.”
To buttress his argument, Dr Oteng further stated that he felt afraid at having such large amounts in his possession.
“Thieves have attacked me before. So, I do not think I am rich. As for me, I feel it is God’s grace and mercy. So, I do not have money,” he explained.
