You may have heard that Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka's will has been read in court. What you probably didn't know is that his will does not have the name of a successor to the Kristo Asafo Mission. This is according to private legal practitioner Kwame Akufo, who attended the reading.
Kwame Akufo explained that the will does not confer leadership position on anybody. 'That the will does not confer leadership position on anybody, it speaks to a pool of people, but there's a point to be made there,' he said. Akufo also clarified that the will was written before certain constitutional changes that were made by Apostle Safo Kantanka to the church.
The controversy surrounding the succession of Apostle Safo Kantanka has been ongoing for some time. Some people claim that Israel Kwadwo Safo Akofena is the successor to the Kantanka Empire. However, Kwame Akufo said this is not necessarily true.
When asked if the will naming Israel Kwadwo Safo Akofena as the successor was a sign of approval, Akufo replied that it was not a clear-cut statement from the late Apostle Safo Kantanka. He also stated that the will should not be interpreted as naming a leader of the church.
Kwame Akufo further explained that the late Apostle Safo Kantanka made changes to the church's constitution, affecting the status of various individuals within the church. He said at the time when the will was written, Israel Kwadwo Safo Akofena may have occupied a special place in the late Apostle's plans. However, later, the designated leader was Akofena.
The late Apostle Safo Kantanka initiated a repeal of the constitutional provision, which led to the removal of Akofena as the designated leader. Therefore, by the time of the Apostle's death, Akofena was not the designated leader of the church.
The controversy has sparked heated discussions among the public and stakeholders in the church. Some are calling for clarity on the succession process, while others are demanding that the will be respected and that the leadership be determined in accordance with the church's constitution.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the future of the Kristo Asafo Mission and the Kantanka Empire hangs in the balance. The court reading of Apostle Safo Kantanka's will has opened a new chapter in the saga of his succession. And for now, nothing is certain.
The Kristo Asafo Mission is a well-known church in Ghana, particularly in the Ga South municipality. Apostle Safo Kantanka was its founder and leader. The mission has a large following in Ghana and beyond.
The controversy surrounding the succession of the late Apostle Safo Kantanka has been ongoing for some time. Many have been waiting for the will to be read in court. And now that it has, the debate is on.
Some have been calling for Israel Kwadwo Safo Akofena to take over as the new leader. Others are opposing this idea and are citing the constitution as the basis for their argument. It remains to be seen how this will play out.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the fate of the Kristo Asafo Mission and the Kantanka Empire will be determined in the coming days. And only time will tell how this will all play out.
It is unfortunate that the media and the general public do not have the accurate information. Kwame Akufo is a well-known private legal practitioner in Ghana, with many years of experience.
