Don’t be deceived by fake election prophets – Tobinco boss tells Christians

Mr. Samuel Tobin, Chairman of Tobinco Group of Companies...

Samuel Amoh Tobbin, Chairman of Tobinco Group of Companies, has cautioned Ghanaians to disregard election prophecies by some so-called prophets ahead of the 2016 general elections .
Mr Tobbin, who is also the Presiding Elder of Dr Thomas Wyatt branch of the Church of Pentecost, said actions of these prophets on the upcoming general elections in December are not in line with scripture.
Mr. Samuel Tobin made the comments at 'Atinka FM's Prayerfest' 2016, which was held on Saturday at the premises of the Accra Technical Training College (ATTC) to seek God’s intervention for peace to prevail before, during and after the 2016 general elections.
According to the renowned businessman, many have turned to prophecies, luring Christians into spiritual darkness.
He said Ghanaians should be wary of these fake prophets with their fake prophecies, demanding items on daily basis to solve spiritual matters. Elder Tobbin said such prophecies only trigger confusion and tension in the country.

“Be careful of fake prophets among you who claim they have vision about who will win the upcoming election ; they are only interested in causing chaos in the country. Ghanaians must therefore endeavor to ignore such prophets and their lies," he said.
Elder Tobbin based his sermon on Jeremiah 29:8-9 of the Holy Book, which reads, “Yes, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. 9 They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them”.
The programme , which was the first of its kind by Atinka FM, was heavily patronized by the station’s loyal listeners.
The Head of Religious Programmes at Atinka FM, Pastor Martin Sermodzie led intercessory prayers for the nation ahead of the December polls.
Atinka FM is a member of the Tobinco Group, which also includes, Atinka TV, Agyenkwa FM in Kumasi, Ahotor FM in Takoradi, Tobinco Pharmaceuticals, Abii National, Priority Insurance, Dor's Events, Entrance Pharmaceuticals and Top Blues.

Court strikes out NDP's President disqualification suit against EC

National Democratic Party Presidential candidate, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings' suit challenging her disqualification by the Electoral Commission has been thrown out.
An Accra High Court presided over by Justice Goerge Koomson struck out the suit on procedural grounds.
He explained that it is against procedures of court to file a joint application praying for the EC's decision to be reviewed and at the same time demand for the enforcement of the Presidential candidate's fundamental human right to vote and be voted for.
He described the suit as incompetent. The court has also fined the applicants GHC10,000.
Ace Ankomah who is counsel for Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings told the press, he will file a fresh suit by close of the day.
Nana Agyeman Konadu who is former First Lady was disqualified after the Electoral Commission said she failed to collect the 432 signatures of qualified voters, a requirement of Regulation 7 (2) (b) of CI 94.
The EC said one person, Salifu Abdulai, who endorsed her presidential nomination forms, was not a qualified voter because he had illegally registered twice and is therefore on a list of excluded voters.
It meant that although she presented 432 endorsers, in reality she presented 431, hence her disqualification.
Of the three presidential candidates who have been to court to challenge their disqualification, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings is the first to hit a snag.
Presidential candidate of the Progressive People's Party Dr. Paa kwesi Nduom has closed his case and is expecting judgment Friday.
All Peoples' Congress presidential candidate Hassan Ayariga is expecting his counsel to make oral submissions next Tuesday followed by judgement expected next Friday.
The three presidential candidates are among 12 who were disqualified from the December 7 presidential elections.
