Traditional priest, Kweku Bonsam has chided Bishop Daniel Obinim, founder of the International Gods Way Church over his recent threats to former President Jerry Rawlings.
The former President at a meeting with some chiefs from the Volta Region scolded Obinim and another preacher, Prophet Nicholas Osei, popularly known as ‘Kumchacha accusing them of misleading Ghanaians and using the name of God in vain.
Kweku Bonsam explained that, “The insult [against Rawlings] was for the whole nation and not only to the former president. If I insult Obinim it is his whole church that I have insulted.”
Mr. Rawlings said “They are so brave [Obinim and Kumchacha] in the kind of things they purport, the kind of things they do… When people watch things like this, knowing very well that they are not achieving what they claim they are doing, we end up perpetuating the ignorance and the grip of these people on the ignorance of our people.”
His comments provoked Bishop Obinim who threatened the former president saying, “you are old and so you should be using all the knowledge and sense you have acquired over the years to help govern the nation, but don’t sit on air and talk about me.
This should be the last time you talk about me. Don’t mention my name in any conversation again, otherwise Jesus Christ, who called me to do his work will deal with you.”
But according to Kweku Bonsam, Obinim must “apologize as soon as possible. I love Obinim not that he has come to seek powers from me…What I don’t like is what he did to former president, Jerry John Rawlings. He [Rawlings] saved the nation of Ghana and you insulting him is very painful.”
“The Bible says honour your father and mother so your life will be prolonged. I beg Obinim, to come on TV and apologise to the former president. He should explain that he did what he did out of anger,” added the fetish priest.
Obinim in his video that took a swipe at the former President, also attacked TV hostess Afia Schwarzenegger.
But Afia Schwarzenegger replied with some unprintable words for Obinim who has since not retaliated.
