The Ashanti Regional Nasara Wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has strongly condemned Prophet Isaac Owusu Bempah over an allegation that some leading members of the party planned to use members of the wing to attack his church.
In a press statement dated September 7, 2026, the Ashanti Regional Nasara Organiser, Razak Abubakar, described the allegation as false, divisive and damaging to the image of the group.
The Nasara Wing said the claim was particularly disturbing because the wing was established to mobilise support among settler and migrant communities while promoting unity across religious and ethnic lines.
According to the statement, suggesting that members of the Nasara Wing could be mobilised to attack a place of worship was an insult to its leadership and thousands of members who, it said, were committed to peace.
The group also accused Prophet Owusu Bempah of making statements capable of creating divisions along tribal and religious lines.
It argued that such conduct was inconsistent with the values of tolerance, unity and peaceful coexistence that should guide public discourse in Ghana.
The controversy comes amid heightened political exchanges involving Owusu Bempah and the NPP. In August, the preacher publicly declared that he would work against the NPP’s return to power under Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the 2028 general election.
The Nasara Wing has therefore demanded that Owusu Bempah withdraw what it described as the false allegation and render an unqualified apology to the wing and the NPP.
It warned that failure to do so could compel it to pursue “all legitimate options” to protect the reputation of the wing and its leadership.
The group also clarified that the Nasara Wing should not be regarded as a Muslim wing, stressing that it represents settler communities regardless of their religious backgrounds.
It further called on major Christian bodies, including the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council, the Christian Council of Ghana and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference, to speak against what it described as divisive rhetoric.
The Nasara Wing maintained that religious platforms should promote peace and national cohesion rather than tribal or religious hostility.
