I’ll accept political appointment from Bawumia if it benefits Ghana – Nigel Gaisie

Prophet Nigel Gaisie, the head of the Prophetic Hill Church, has indicated his openness to accepting a political position from former Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, provided it would contribute positively to Ghana's progress. In an interview on Accra-based Neat FM, the religious leader emphasized that spiritual figures should actively engage in politics and governance to advance national development.

He argued that the church has an essential role to play in shaping the country's future and that prophets should not be overlooked when it comes to political appointments.

"The church of God must be involved in politics," Prophet Gaisie stated firmly. He provided the example of Zimbabwean preacher Prophet Uebert Angel, who previously held a diplomatic assignment in Zimbabwe, to illustrate how religious leaders can successfully participate in governance. "Prophet Herbert Angel is a pastor but he holds a political appointment in Zimbabwe, so we should also look at the next phase of governance. We would see prophets taking political appointments," he added.

When questioned about his willingness to accept a political appointment from Dr Bawumia, Prophet Gaisie stated that he would seriously consider the offer if it was a position that would benefit the nation and promote nation-building. "I will look at it, if it is a good appointment that will benefit the country, for nation building, I will do it," he concluded.
