“I Saved Naana Jane’s Life”: Ghanaian Pastor Claims Credit for Veep’s Recovery

• Prophet Razak Ibrahim claims his spiritual intervention saved Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang from a life-threatening illness
• The Vice President reportedly fell ill in March 2025 and received treatment in the UK after initially visiting UGMC
• She has now recovered, with President Mahama assuring Ghanaians that she will soon return to official duties
• Apostle Eric Okai, senior pastor at the Elim Church, debunked the claims made by the Prophet Razak Ibrahim in an interview with YEN.com.gh

The founder and leader of the Universal Holy Blood Ministry, Prophet Razak Ibrahim, has taken credit for Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang's recovery from illness.

The Ghanaian Vice President was reported ill in March 2025 and flown to the UK to receive treatment after initially receiving care at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC).

However, the latest reports indicate that Prof Naana Jane has recovered from the ailment after receiving medical care abroad.

In response to the news, Prophet Razak Ibrahim said the Vice-President would have passed away if not for his spiritual intervention.

Speaking on Accra-based Neat FM, the man of God stated that when the Vice-President’s sickness was first disclosed to the public, some of his fellow pastors prophesied that she would not survive.

This, he claimed, prompted him to pray against their doom prophecies, which resulted in a tense spiritual battle to save Prof Naana Jane’s life.

"If their prophecies had materialised, they would have been all over the place claiming credit for it. So, I stepped into the spiritual realm to hold the Vice-President. So, she is alive today because of me. The day I lose grip on her spiritually would be her end on this earth," he claimed.

Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang became the first female Vice President of the Republic of Ghana on January 7, 2025.

This followed the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) winning the December 7, 2024, presidential elections, where she served as the running mate of President John Dramani Mahama.

President Mahama recently updated Ghanaians on Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang's health status.

In a Facebook post to celebrate Mother's Day, President John Mahama said he visited Prof Opoku-Agyemang abroad, where she is resting after recovering from illness.

@Tiero Randall said:

"Sometimes, the TV and radio stations become a problem for the nation. Why should u bring him in the first place?"

@user2771988816129 also said:

Sometimes, if I see these things, I just laugh because these people, when you see them, if they are hungry, they decide to prophesy force. Are you a God?"

@dedefia commented:

"Radio stations should stop entertaining such people in their studios."

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, Apostle Eric Okai, a senior pastor, categorically stated that no pastor has the power to save any human's life.

"Pastors don't have the power to save. They are only to exercise their faith in whatever petition or requests are made to God. I believe the spirit of pride is deceiving him," he stated.
