Ghana's Election 2016: “Kwaku Firi Shrine” predicts victory for Akufo-Addo

Ghanaian traditional priests, prophets and pastors, are making bold predictions about the outcome of the 2016 elections, as the campaign gathers momentum. The latest to foretell the winner of the polls is the chief priest of the powerful “Kwaku Firi Shrine” in Nwoase, in the Wenchi Municipality, Nana Kwaku Drobo II.
He has proclaimed that the presidential candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, would come out victorious. He, however, said the party needed to unite behind him to make this happen.

He made the public declaration when Nana Akufo-Addo paid a courtesy call on him during his five-day campaign tour of the Brong-Ahafo to canvass for votes. Nana Drobo warned that, “if the NPP fails to support the flagbearer to win the coming election, then the party would remain in the opposition for long time”.

He made a personal cash donation of GH? 3,000.00 to support the candidate’s campaign. Nana Akufo-Addo pledged to work hard to build a country that “works for everybody” if voted to lead the nation. He said his government would turn the economy around to create wealth and jobs – to end widespread economic suffering.
