Gomoa Central’s Member of Parliament, Kwame Asare Obeng, widely known as A Plus, has made waves with a bold message aimed at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following their recent Delegates Congress. In a post made on Facebook on Sunday, July 20, 2025, the outspoken MP congratulated the party on its event but didn’t hold back in delivering what he described as a spiritual revelation.
He playfully remarked that he had hoped it would rain during the Congress, just to observe whether any NPP delegates would ironically reach for umbrellas — the iconic symbol of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). Still, he acknowledged the NPP’s enduring strength and described the presence of a strong opposition as essential for Ghana’s democracy.
A Plus, however, issued a deeper spiritual caution. He claimed that the NPP had angered a powerful spiritual force, and this unseen entity now stands as a barrier to the party’s return to power. According to him, unless the NPP humbles itself, seeks forgiveness, and pledges to govern better when given the opportunity, reclaiming political leadership will remain elusive. He went further to suggest that if the party heeds this spiritual warning, it may have a chance at success — but not until 2036.
Turning to Ghana’s political roots, A Plus expressed admiration for Ghana’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, especially highlighting the legacy he left in the Gomoa area. He cited transformative projects like the Pomadze Poultry Farm, feed production facilities, hatcheries, and research institutions, as well as educational initiatives like the Kwame Nkrumah Ideological Institute, now part of the University of Education, Winneba.
In his view, Nkrumah’s legacy lives on through new leaders, and he specifically identified former President John Dramani Mahama as a continuation of Nkrumah’s spirit and vision. A Plus stressed that any political party that attempts to erase or disregard Nkrumah’s contributions will struggle to find long-term success in Ghana’s political landscape.
He concluded by calling for nationwide respect for Ghana’s founding father, emphasizing that honoring Nkrumah’s legacy is essential to the nation’s growth and political stability.
