'The Lion is Quiet Because of Presidency’ – Obinim Mocks Kennedy Agyapong in Church
Controversial Ghanaian pastor, Bishop Daniel Obinim, has once again made headlines after throwing jabs at politician and businessman Kennedy Agyapong during a recent church service. Obinim claimed that Kennedy, known for his loud and fearless attacks on public figures, has suddenly gone quiet because of his ambition to become Ghana’s next president.
“The lion is now quiet because of presidency,” Obinim said to loud cheers from his congregation.
“He used to roar everywhere. He insulted me, pastors, and anyone he didn’t like. But now, he is calm, because he wants votes.”
The phrase “the lion is quiet” has now become a viral quote on social media, with many using it to describe how Kennedy Agyapong’s once fiery personality has toned down in recent months.
Kennedy Agyapong, the outspoken Member of Parliament for Assin Central, is one of the top contenders in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearership race. Known for his bold talk and hard-hitting media appearances, Kennedy built a reputation as a no-nonsense politician. However, some Ghanaians believe he has softened his tone recently in an effort to appeal to more voters.
Obinim didn’t miss the chance to remind Ghanaians of their past feud. In 2020, Kennedy Agyapong ran a series of exposés on live television, accusing Bishop Obinim of various scandals. The pastor responded fiercely back then, but he seems to be enjoying a moment of payback now.
“Now he is begging for votes. He needs peace with everyone. He wants to be seen as humble. But we remember everything,”
Obinim said with a smile.
The rivalry between Obinim and Kennedy has been one of Ghana’s most talked-about public clashes. With Obinim’s latest comments, the drama is far from over.
Social media users have been quick to react, with hashtags like #TheLionIsQuiet and #Obinim trending across platforms. Some users support Obinim’s boldness, while others say the pastor should focus on preaching and not politics.
As the 2024 elections approach, every public comment from a key figure like Kennedy Agyapong will be watched closely. Whether he responds to Obinim or not, Ghanaians are paying attention.
One thing is clear — the political stage in Ghana is heating up, and even pastors are not staying silent.
