While speaking in church, Apostle Amoako Atta said that Mahama could even put on red underwear and advised him not to joke with the direction.
He explained that red signifies victory in the spiritual realm, hence the politician's need to begin his reign as President with a symbol of victory.
"Tell Mahama that on Tuesday, whatever dress he wears, he should ensure that he has red in it. Whether he wears a red tie or red underwear. He should not joke with it. He needs something red before he presents himself to the country that he is in now power.
"In the spiritual realm, anything red signifies victory, the colour of victory is not white but red," he told his congregants.
Mahama sworn in as President
John Mahama was sworn in as the nation's next President on January 7, 2024, before a packed crowd at the Black Star Square in Accra.
It remains to be known whether Apostle Amoako's message was relayed to President Mahama and if that advice was taken seriously.
However, the 65-year-old did wear a beautiful traditional white attire with kente accents with woven red strips of silk and cotton.
Protocol for Mahama swearing-in ceremony
Ahead of the inauguration, it was announced that the Parliamentary Sitting Area would be restricted to guests attending the event.
Among the heads of state who attended the inauguration included Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, Gambian President Adama Barrow and Kenyan President William Ruto.
Accredited journalists were also given a designated space with the necessary facilities to support media coverage.
Several roads in Accra were temporarily closed, including the 28th February Road, Osu Cemetery Traffic Light, Castle Road, and Starlet 91 Road.
