In a video on X, the popular preacher indicated that despite the pressure the GRA is putting him through, he would continue to be a law-abiding citizen.
"GRA officials, I am not a politician. So, if anyone or any politician is using you to stress me, it will not happen. I am a law-abiding citizen. If I have started a business and I employ 100 people, that is my contribution to the betterment of the country."
Prophet Ogyaba said that after receiving his tax, the GRA wrote to ask him to declare his source of income.
"You wrote a letter and worked on the taxes I was supposed to pay to the GRA. I have paid, and you gave me a receipt and certificate. After that, you have written to me to declare my source of income. If you did not know my source of income, how did you calculate my tax?"

"He's the one politicising it, no disrespect, but if they think there's a need to declare your source of income, what's the big deal in this? You just declare and go on with your day. C'mon, what's the big deal in this? Shalom."

"Just my humble view and not to measure the size of land your cutlass can clear. There is nothing wrong if the state says, declare your source of income, but why tax and later make that request 🙏 and concerning why we treat ourselves like enemies and open our arms for foreigners must be studied. We make life a living hell for ourselves too much as Ghanaians 🤔."

"Why is it difficult to tell us your source of income if it is genuine? I am a farmer and a government worker. I will tell you if you are clean."
