Sarah Adwoa Safo Reveals Late Father’s Prophecy of Family Feud Following Death of Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka

Sarah Adwoa Safo, the former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, has disclosed that her late father, the renowned Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, predicted the ongoing disputes and divisions currently fracturing their family. Speaking during a formal visit to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to express gratitude for his attendance at her father's thanksgiving service, Safo recounted how the legendary industrialist and religious leader had explicitly warned her of the domestic challenges that would follow his passing.

The internal friction has manifested in high-profile legal battles and public tensions, specifically between Adwoa Safo and her brother, Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena I. The disagreement reached a flashpoint over the management and organization of their father’s funeral rites. According to reports, Akofena sought a court injunction to restrain Safo from proceeding with specific funeral arrangements, highlighting a deep-seated rift within the immediate family of the late founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana.

According to the former lawmaker, these disputes have been significantly complicated by traditional Akan customary practices, particularly those involving the matrilineal family’s role in funeral arrangements. Safo noted that these cultural dynamics exacerbated the existing tensions, making the fulfillment of her father’s warnings a painful reality for the heirs. The conflict has not only divided the siblings but has also drawn in extended family members as they navigate the complex intersection of customary law and the late Apostle’s personal legacy.

Despite the internal turmoil, Adwoa Safo remains a visible figure in political circles, using her engagement with Dr. Bawumia to acknowledge the support of the NPP leadership during her family's period of mourning. As legal proceedings continue and the family seeks a path toward resolution, the situation serves as a poignant example of the challenges many prominent Ghanaian families face regarding inheritance and traditional leadership transition. The legacy of Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, a man celebrated for his innovation, now rests on whether his descendants can reconcile his prophetic warnings with a lasting peace.
