In a thought-provoking one-on-one interview, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the revered founder of Action Chapel International, offered a deeply spiritual perspective on Ghana’s political trajectory, expressing his heartfelt desire for President John Dramani Mahama to continue in office beyond his current term. With unwavering conviction, the archbishop declared, “God has spoken,” framing Mahama’s leadership not merely as a political development but as a divine assignment.
According to Duncan-Williams, Mahama’s return to power marks a prophetic shift in Ghana’s destiny—a moment of national recalibration guided by spiritual insight. He described the president’s governance as a vessel for restoration, healing, and divine order, asserting that Mahama’s presence at the helm is no accident but a fulfillment of God’s plan for the nation.
“Leadership is not just about policies and politics,” the archbishop said. “It’s about purpose. And when God ordains a leader, it’s not for man to question—it’s for man to discern and support.”
His remarks, delivered with characteristic passion and clarity, have stirred both admiration and controversy.
While Ghana’s constitution clearly limits presidents to two terms, Duncan-Williams emphasized that his views are rooted in faith, not legal reform. He did not advocate for constitutional amendments but rather invited Ghanaians to consider the spiritual implications of Mahama’s leadership.
The archbishop’s comments arrive at a time when Mahama’s administration is gaining traction for its economic reforms, social interventions, and efforts to restore public trust. Many market women, youth groups, and civil society leaders have voiced support for the president, citing improvements in food prices, fuel policy, and governance transparency.
Supporters of Mahama have embraced Duncan-Williams’ endorsement as a powerful affirmation of the president’s divine favor and national relevance. Social media platforms have lit up with hashtags like #MahamaMandate and #PropheticLeadership, reflecting a groundswell of enthusiasm among faith-based communities.
However, critics have raised concerns about the intersection of religion and politics. Some argue that religious leaders should maintain neutrality, especially when constitutional boundaries are at stake. Others caution against conflating spiritual prophecy with political endorsement, warning that such statements could polarize public opinion.
Despite the debate, Duncan-Williams remains resolute. “If God has chosen, then let the nation align,” he said. “This is not about party. It’s about destiny.”
His words have added a profound layer to Ghana’s political discourse, blending theology, prophecy, and civic engagement in a way that challenges conventional narratives. As the country looks ahead, the archbishop’s voice—respected across denominations and political divides—may continue to shape how Ghanaians interpret leadership, legacy, and the future of their democracy.
