Founder of Eastwood Anaba Ministries, Reverend Eastwood Anaba, has emphasized the presence of genuinely well-intentioned politicians in Ghana who often face unwarranted criticism.

He singled out President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and former President John Dramani Mahama as two such politicians with whom he has had personal interactions.

Reverend Anaba shared an example of former President Mahama's benevolence, recalling an incident where Mahama extended a helping hand.

In a viral video addressing his congregation, Reverend Anaba mentioned that Mahama had played a vital role in saving the life of a pastor from the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), affiliated with Dr. Mensa Otabil's ministry.

This assistance came in response to a request from Dr. Otabil, who had contacted Mahama to arrange for the transportation of a severely injured pastor from an accident in Wa to Accra.

“I was in Lagos, a pastor had an accident in Nandom, his head was broken. He must get to Accra otherwise he would die. Dr Mensa Otabil, my good friend called me … and said ‘Eastwood I have an emergency, one of our pastors (a pastor of ICGC), his head is broken, can you help by calling the government so that they call the air ambulance to pick the guy otherwise we are going to lose him.

“I called President Mahama and told him I have a problem. A pastor friend of ICGC has had an accident in Nandom and we need an air ambulance to transport him,” he narrated.

Eastwood Anaba recounted that Mahama swiftly responded by calling him back within a mere 10 minutes, assuring him that the Air Force Commander would promptly get in touch to provide the necessary assistance.

“By the time he (Mahama) put down the phone, the Air Force Commander called me. He (the commander) said ‘The president has given me your assignment, consider it done. By tomorrow your patient will be in Accra'.

“The plane went all the way to Wa Hospital; picked up Pastor Peter Akagara to Accra. And up to today, Pastor Akagara is alive,” he said.

He encouraged Ghanaians not to lend credence to false narratives surrounding specific politicians.

“I came to announce to you to stop listening to liars. There are people that can help you and because they know who they are, they accept who they are, they are acting who they are; people accuse them of pride and they drive them away from you.”
