He noted that although their friendship may appear strange or controversial to some due to their different spiritual backgrounds, he values the honesty and sincerity he has observed in the traditional priest.

He further suggested that not all individuals who present themselves as Christians necessarily have good intentions, stressing that character and truthfulness should matter more than labels.

How the friendship began

Prophet Roja explained that the relationship began after Nana Kwaku Bonsam reacted to a statement he had previously made on radio.

He said that upon reflection, he realised his comments may have offended the traditional priest and decided to reach out personally to apologise.

According to him, that act of reconciliation became the turning point in their relationship, eventually leading to a cordial friendship that has been sustained over time.
