The National Peace Council’s recent dialogue with prophets in the Greater Accra Region became contentious when Prophet Nigel Gaisie, founder of the True Word Prophetic Fire Ministries, expressed his concerns.
During the meeting on Tuesday, Gaisie accused the Peace Council of being active only during election periods, citing their silence on significant incidents like the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence and the Techiman election killings.
“I live close to Ayawaso West Wuogon. We witnessed the events there. I still don’t know when the Peace Council will speak on it or issue a communiqué,” Gaisie stated.
He also highlighted the lack of response from the Council following the killings in Techiman and criticized the government’s handling of economic issues, referencing a recent Ghana Statistical Service report indicating that many Ghanaians struggle to afford three square meals daily.
Gaisie called on the Council to address all issues proactively, rather than selectively, emphasizing that peace cannot exist in a vacuum. “We should understand that peace requires certain conditions and principles to be established,” he added.
In response, Rev. Dr. Ernest Adu Gyamfi, Chairman of the National Peace Council, addressed Gaisie’s accusations.
Additionally, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, Founder and Presiding Archbishop of Action Chapel International, provided advice to both prophets and politicians ahead of the upcoming elections.
