According to Prophet Roja, Nana Kwaku Bonsam is one of the people who consistently looks out for his well-being and offer him personal advice.
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.

He stated that wisdom is not limited to religious affiliation, adding that he remains open to learning from people across different backgrounds.
Prophet Roja also disclosed that on several occasions, Nana Kwaku Bonsam has reached out to warn him about what he described as potential spiritual attacks allegedly planned by individuals within Christian circles.
Reactions from the public
His comments have since generated mixed reactions on social media and in public discourse.
While some users have praised him for promoting tolerance, humility, and unity across religious divides, others have questioned the nature of the relationship between a Christian pastor and a traditional priest.
Despite the debate, Prophet Roja maintained that his approach is guided by openness and the belief that good character is not defined solely by religion.
