 Hon. Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah, on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama, paid a courtesy visit to Prophet Emmanuel Badu Kobi, the founder and leader of Glorious Wave Church International. Following the 2020 elections, Prophet Badu Kobi boldly declared that the elections were rigged by the NPP and continued to proclaim that John Dramani Mahama would return to power in 2024.
