In a surprising development surrounding the Kristo Asafo Mission leadership saga, the family of the late Apostle Emeritus Prof. Ing. Kwadwo Safo is making explosive claims about succession plans and a revoked mandate. The family asserts that key authority was withdrawn prior to the founder’s passing, and that recent leadership installations were not in line with the original directives.
What the family is saying
- The family of late Apostle Emeritus Prof. Ing. Kwadwo Safo has challenged the recent installation of his son, Israel Nana Kwadwo Safo, popularly known as Akofena, as leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission, insisting that the church founder withdrew the succession authority previously granted to him before his passing.
- The core claim centers on a revoked mandate and a disputed leadership plan, with the family stating that the succession mandate was revoked and that Israel Safo was excluded from the Safo’s succession mandate in 2024 and excluded him from the Kristo Asafo Mission leadership plan before his death, citing concerns over his stewardship.
A snapshot of the timeline
- 2024: The family claims that the late founder revoked Israel Safo’s succession mandate in 2024, removing him from the line of succession.
- Pre-death period: The family asserts that Israel Safo was excluded from the Kristo Asafo Mission leadership plan before his death, due to concerns over his stewardship.
- Present: The family publicly challenges the recent installation of Akofena as leader, arguing that the succession authority had already been withdrawn.
Why this matters
