In a social media post on February 1, 2026, Mr Asante said he began questioning the prophetic message after the death of Dr Omane Boamah in 2025, whom the cleric had allegedly referenced in an earlier video as a future political contender.
According to Mr Asante, EL Bernard, in a video released in 2025, spoke about future political contests in both the NPP and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), using initials to describe individuals he claimed to have seen in a vision.
He recalled that the cleric mentioned “OB” (Omane Boamah) as a figure positioned behind NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia (popularly known as Mosquito) and former Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, suggesting that Omane Boamah and another individual identified as “AB” were contenders for 2032 rather than the 2028 elections.
Mr Asante said the cleric also predicted that the 2028 NPP race would involve Kennedy Agyapong, while the NDC contest would be between figures he associated with Mosquito, Julius Debrah, and a person he identified as “HI,” believed to be Haruna Iddrisu.
He argued that the death of Omane Boamah, whom the prophecy allegedly projected as a 2032 contender, raised serious questions about the divine origin of the message.
“When Omane died, I concluded that someone who was projected as a future contender passing away in 2025 showed that the message was not from God but from a man,” Mr Asante stated.
However, he was careful to clarify that his doubts were limited to that specific prophecy and not a broader rejection of EL Bernard’s prophetic ministry.
“I am not doubting whether he is a prophet or not, but I doubted that particular message,” he added.
Mr Asante’s comments have reignited debate on social media over the role of prophecy in Ghana’s political discourse and the extent to which such predictions should be taken seriously by the public.
