Maurice Ampaw and Kumchacha
Founder and leader of Heaven’s Gate Ministries, Prophet Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Prophet Kumchacha, has criticized lawyer Maurice Ampaw over his comments regarding Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang’s health.
According to Prophet Kumchacha, Maurice Ampaw is playing politics with the health status of the Vice President by accusing members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of orchestrating her health issues.
“Lawyer Maurice Ampaw claims that the Vice President’s illness was orchestrated by someone. He is a big liar! When he misbehaves on social media and is called out, he threatens court action,” Kumchacha stated.
“The Vice President is unwell, and Maurice Ampaw says her sickness has been orchestrated by someone who wants her position. This makes no sense! When Bawumia fell ill and was taken to the UK for treatment, was that also orchestrated?” he questioned.
He continued, “Death has nothing to do with political affiliations, so what Maurice Ampaw is saying makes no sense. He should stop this behaviour because health issues should not be politicized,” he cautioned.
Speaking in a viral video shared on YouTube, Prophet Kumchacha further questioned the basis of Maurice Ampaw’s accusations, labeling them baseless and unfounded.
Meanwhile, a former Deputy Spokesperson for Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang during the 2024 election campaign, Eric Adjei, has provided an update on the Vice President’s health.
In a social media post, Adjei, who is now the Acting Chief Executive Officer of NEIP, assured the public that the Vice President is in good health, easing concerns among Ghanaians.
According to him, he has been in constant communication with Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s team, who confirmed that she is recovering well.
“Our mother, the Vice President, is in good health, thanks to God’s grace. I’ve received updates from the team, and Mum is doing very well by His grace,” he posted on Facebook on March 30, 2025.
His update has helped dispel lingering concerns among many Ghanaians regarding the Vice President’s condition.
This follows an official communiqué from the presidency confirming that the Vice President had fallen ill and received medical treatment on Friday, March 28, 2025.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Spokesperson to the President and Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, stated that the Vice President experienced a sudden illness after work hours on Friday.
“The Vice President, Her Excellency Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, received treatment at the University of Ghana Medical Centre on Saturday due to a sudden illness that occurred after work on Friday, March 28, 2025,” the statement read.
The communiqué further stated that although she had received treatment at UGMC, she would seek further medical attention abroad based on expert recommendations.
“Based on expert medical opinion, she will seek further care abroad,” it added.
