On the lively set of UTV’s United Showbiz last night, March 1, 2025, Prophet Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Prophet Kumchacha, made headlines with a dramatic plea. The outspoken preacher literally went down on his knees, begging President John Dramani Mahama for an appointment, claiming, “I deserve an appointment from the President because I have sacrificed a lot for the party.” The moment, aired live, left viewers and panelists alike stunned, sparking a wave of reactions across Ghana.
Hosted by the vibrant Empress Gifty, the show featured an eclectic mix of panelists: entertainment pundit Arnold Asamoah Baidoo, artist manager Bullgod, media personality Ola Michael, the ever-controversial Counsellor Lutterodt, and Vida Adu Twum. The discussion, as always, was a rollercoaster of opinions, but Kumchacha stole the spotlight with his impassioned appeal. He argued that his tireless efforts—late nights, TV appearances, and unwavering support—helped secure Mahama’s return to power in the 2024 elections. “I sacrificed my life for the project,” he declared, emphasizing his loyalty to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) brand.
Kumchacha didn’t stop at gratitude; he pitched a bold vision: a new ministry to oversee Ghanaian prophets and pastors, tackling what he calls “false prophets” undermining God’s work. Despite Mahama’s pledge to slim down ministries, Kumchacha insisted his role would be a game-changer. The panel’s reactions ranged from skepticism to amusement, with Arnold Asamoah Baidoo raising an eyebrow and Bullgod smirking at the audacity. Counsellor Lutterodt, predictably, chimed in with his own fiery take, while Ola Michael tried to steer the conversation back to sanity.
Whether Kumchacha’s plea will reach the Flagstaff House remains uncertain, but one thing’s clear: last night’s United Showbiz was a masterclass in drama. Will the President heed his call? Only time will tell. For now, Ghana watches—and debates.
