Outspoken Ghanaian preacher Rev Obofour has weighed in on Ghana’s ongoing power shortages and wider development challenges, adding his voice to the national debate on “dumsor” and related concerns.
In a video circulating on TikTok, the preacher expressed alarm over a series of fire outbreaks affecting key institutions and public spaces across the country, suggesting that some of them may not be accidental.
He argued that certain individuals are deliberately causing damage, describing such actions as troubling and blaming what he sees as reckless behaviour.
Rev Obofour also touched on how the persistent power outages have become politically charged, saying Ghanaians have turned the issue into a tool for partisan arguments.
“You wake up and hear that the central market has been razed by fire. Someone will intentionally destroy the road. Who do you think you are destroying? Some of you are insane in this country. You will see a hospital with no beds.
“Is Ghana a country where the Kumasi market should easily catch fire? Even though the second market has not been constructed yet, some traders still sell in the rain,” he said.
He further alleged that public offices and national assets are sometimes targeted when corruption investigations or political tensions rise.
“There will be someone occupying an office, and just when that particular person becomes the prosecutor for corruption, you wake up and hear that the office has been razed by fire. You think you are destroying the country.
“Some of you behave like you were raised by animals. You may think you are destroying the country for a particular minister, but you are destroying yourself. Some of you are wicked,” Rev Obofour stated.
