In a video shared on social media, the journalist noted that she is unfazed by any curses Prophet 1 has invoked upon her, insisting they would not affect her.
"I have been doing this work for the past twenty years, and I am not scared of anything. President Kufuor's bodyguards have beaten us before, and we have survived it. So he (Opambour) should keep quiet over there. You went there to ask a legitimate question and didn’t condemn anything about the Ghana Card, so why should you fight me over this?
"Where I come from, we have strong spiritual backgrounds, so you can’t come and threaten me over this," she said.
Afia Pokuaa also voiced her support for John Mahama's proposed free first-year tertiary education policy, emphasising that she values education-focused policies over the ex-gratia payments to Members of Parliament.
"I have said this so many times about free SHS—that anyone who condemns free SHS is a shallow-minded person. When Mahama said he would bring free first-year tertiary education, I supported it because I do not support the ex-gratia payments they want to give MPs," she added.
Background
On 11 November 2024, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, held a fellowship service with clergymen in Kumasi.
During the event, Prophet Opambour raised concerns about Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s policy, which proposes using the Ghana Card as the basis for a credit-scoring system to allow citizens to purchase cars.
Opambour mocked the initiative, questioning its feasibility and doubting that the Ghana Card could be used for such a purpose.
Afia Pokuaa, however, responded by calling Opambour "shallow-minded," suggesting he misunderstood the project. Prophet 1 has since issued a stern warning to Afia Pokuaa, stating that he would hurl curses at her if she continued to speak against him.
