Clergyman offers personal sacrifice for Mahama

Reflecting on the sacrifices made by earlier Ghanaian leaders, Prophet Nyarko argued that laying down one's life for a national cause had ample historical precedent.

The founder of the Grace Impartation Power Ministry International made clear that he was not lobbying the President to seek an extended mandate but was instead signalling his own readiness should such a sacrifice ever be required.

"I am not forcing Mahama to go for a third term, but if Mahama wants someone to be used as a sacrifice for him to go for a third term, I, Prophet Dr Power Man, can donate my life. Do you know that sometimes people don't understand spirituality and physicality?" he said.
"Some of our past leaders, some of them laid down their lives for the country with their blood. Most of them died during the Gold Coast era. Kwame Nkrumah died because of Ghana, and most of them…" he added.

Mahama distances himself from third-term talk

Ghana's constitution strictly caps the presidential mandate, and President Mahama, who is currently serving his second non-consecutive term, is constitutionally required to leave office in 2028.

The Head of State has on previous occasions publicly ruled out any ambition to extend his stay in power, making his position on the matter clear.

Despite the President's stated stance, conversations around a potential mandate extension have persisted in public discourse, with the prophet's latest comments adding fresh fuel to an already lively national conversation.
