Looking visibly incensed, Prophet Kofi Oduro disclosed that he slept in darkness the day before the service due to frequent outages, questioning why a nation almost 70 years after independence should be bedevilled with this problem.
"It does not happen. A nation which is 70 years, as I speak I slept in darkness all through. As we were coming to church, I saw a member whose dress had not been ironed, but out of the desire to be in the house of the Lord, he had come."
He then went on to lament the rapid depletion of prepaid credit.
Many Ghanaians have taken to social media to voice their concerns regarding the frequent and erratic power supply, which they say is disrupting their businesses, daily lives, and other economic activities.
