Former Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo has accused her brother, Israel Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena, of tarnishing the legacy of their late father, Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, as the leadership and funeral dispute within the Kristo Asafo Mission deepens.
Speaking on Accra-based Citi FM, Adwoa Safo said she was disappointed by what she described as her brother’s conduct, alleging that his quest to lead the church has fuelled the ongoing public disagreements within the family.
She expressed concern that the dispute has shifted attention away from the remarkable legacy of the late founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission, stressing that church leadership should not be pursued through public confrontation or conflict.
“It is embarrassing and a shame that one person in the family wants to wash our dirty linen in public and engage the media all the time,” she said.
Adwoa Safo also accused her brother of failing to take responsibility for matters relating to their father’s funeral and legacy, arguing that he has instead focused on challenging decisions that have already been made.
She maintained that anyone seeking to lead the church should exercise patience and allow the process to unfold naturally rather than trying to force the outcome.
“If God wants you to lead the church, it will happen. But don’t force your way into it or use any means to secure the position,” she stated.
According to the former legislator, pastoral leadership is a divine calling rather than a position to be pursued through personal ambition or pressure. She warned that such actions risk damaging both the image of the church and the reputation of those involved.
Her remarks come as tensions continue over the funeral arrangements for Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka.
The Kristo Asafo Mission recently stated that it had not been officially notified of any agreed funeral or burial arrangements for its late founder.
However, Adwoa Safo has rejected that position, insisting that the funeral will commence on Thursday, July 30, with the remaining funeral rites continuing in the days that follow.
