In a blistering public confrontation that has set political tongues wagging across Ghana, Prophet Kofi Oduro has blasted MP aspirant Baba Jamal Mohammed Ahmed, demanding to know: “Where did you get the GH¢2 million?”
The fiery preacher didn’t mince words as he accused Baba Jamal of pouring out massive sums of cash and gifts during the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary primaries in Ayawaso East — a move Oduro says smells dangerously like vote‑buying.
📍 Prophet Oduro’s Bombshell Question:
“Where did you get the 2 million?” Oduro thundered, pointing to what he claims are over GH¢2 million worth of giveaways — from TVs to boiled eggs and other items — being distributed to delegates throughout the fiercely contested primary.
🔥 Baba Jamal On The Defensive:
In response, the former MP turned aspirant didn’t back down — instead admitting he has been giving out gifts, insisting they’re part of his long‑standing tradition of community support and benevolence, not political bribes.
🤑 Money Politics Under Fire:
Critics, however, say the staggering value of the gifts — which some delegates openly received at voting venues — crosses every ethical boundary in internal party democracy. Oduro’s explosive question has now become the rallying cry of civil society and political watchdogs demanding transparency.
📢 Political Earthquake:
The drama has sparked a broader storm:
- NDC leadership has launched a formal probe into allegations of vote inducement.
- Grassroots members are taking sides — some defending Jamal’s charity, others calling for his disqualification.
- Social media is on fire with hashtags and heated debate.
⚡ Why It Matters:
With just months to go before national polls, this controversy lays bare simmering tensions over money in politics, candidate conduct, and the soul of Ghana’s internal party elections.
Will Baba Jamal face sanctions? Will the NDC’s investigations expose deeper rot? One thing’s clear — Prophet Oduro’s challenge has flipped a local primary into a political spectacle that won’t quiet down anytime soon.
