Ghana: ....the election.....will bring us together, and not tear us apart,” - Nana Addo

Nana Akufo-Addo, Presidential Candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has asked Ghanaians to pray for the country before, during and after this year’s election in November. He noted that Ghana’s peace cannot be taken for granted adding that the onus lies on all Ghanaians to ensure that peace prevails in the country. Speaking at the Grace Baptist Church in Kumasi on Sunday, Nana Addo said this year’s election will determine the future of Ghana. “We pray that in this difficult year, summed up by insecurity, fear, inexplicable deaths, joblessness, and economic hardships for our people, the Lord protects us, protects Ghana, and ensures that the peace and security of our nation remain intact, even though we are going to have an election.

  He also prayed for strength, wisdom and courage. “…For your servant, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, pray that God gives me strength, courage, wisdom and a good heart so I can be the servant-leader the people of Ghana so ardently require.”

[We pray] that the election, itself, will be conducted in a satisfactory manner whose outcome will bring us together, and not tear us apart,” he prayed. Nana Akufo-Addo also asked for prayers for the NPP, so that “the Lord extends His hands over us, gives us fellowship and solidarity, and, at the end of the day, give us victory in the 2016 election, so we can give Ghana the good governance she deserves to the glory of the Almighty, and to the benefit of the Ghanaian people.”
