‘If you want to imprison me over my friendship with Bawumia, go ahead’ – Rev. Kusi Boateng

Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, Founder and Leader of Power Chapel Worldwide, has boldly declared his willingness to face imprisonment rather than sever ties with his friendship with former Vice President and NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. In a recent video message to his congregation, Rev. Boateng defended his relationship with Dr Bawumia and his wife, Hajia Samira Bawumia, stating that he will not compromise their friendship due to criticism.

He emphasized that he has previously endured imprisonment and is not afraid of returning to prison. Rev. Boateng maintains that his friendship with Dr Bawumia is not a crime and vows to openly support their relationship, regardless of public opinion. This stance comes amid several investigations into the National Cathedral project, on whose Board of Trustees Rev.

Boateng previously served as Secretary. The project has been scrutinized by various authorities, including the CHRAJ, Office of the Special Prosecutor, Deloitte, and a forensic audit commissioned by the current NDC administration. Despite the controversy surrounding the National Cathedral, Rev. Boateng remains steadfast in his defense of Dr Bawumia and his wife, categorizing them as close friends and family who will continue to be in his life.
