Ghanaian actor and outspoken New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporter, Prince David Osei, has taken to Instagram to challenge pastors who issue what he describes as “false prophecies,” following Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s victory in the NPP’s 2026 presidential primaries. The win defied a prediction by Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun, who had forecasted that former MP Kennedy Agyapong would prevail.
In his post, Osei warned against claiming divine authority for political ambitions. “Some of you pastors are honestly embarrassing God — speaking what He never said and walking around with pride like it’s a virtue,” he wrote. “No wonder so many believers now seek the face of Elohim for themselves. Trusting some pastors today feels like playing hide‑and‑seek with the devil.”
The actor anchored his criticism in scripture, drawing on passages from Galatians, Proverbs, Isaiah, and Jeremiah to illustrate the dangers of misrepresenting God’s will. He reminded his followers that being a pastor does not confer divine power and that God’s glory cannot be shared with humans. “Whenever a man tries to play God, the end is always the same — humiliation and destruction,” he said.
Osei’s message reflects growing frustration among Ghanaians over the blending of religion and politics, where some religious leaders publicly back candidates or claim insight into electoral outcomes. The actor called for discernment, urging believers to approach prophecy with caution: “Test every spirit,” he advised, quoting 1 John 4:1.
