Odiifo Acquah calls for prayers for President Mahama

Odiifo Dadibo Acquah, Head of Ward Haris Twelve Apostles Church International, has exhorted pastors and other religious leaders,  to pray unceasingly for President John Dramani Mahama and his Ministers,  for God to  grant them wisdom and vision to rule the country.

He said the good people of Ghana have given the President a four-year mandate to govern the nation, and there is the need to support him with prayers for him to succeed.

Odiifo Acquah gave advice when he addressed members of the Church at their four-day Easter Convention at Agona Mensakrom in the Agona East District of the Central Region.

The Head of the Church said the President would definitely need physical and spiritual assistance from pastors and other leaders, to enable him receive good directions from God.

He said the President alone could not do it, and may require all concerted efforts to ensure efficient management of the country.

Odiifo Acquah regretted that some serial callers were still insulting the President on air, after accusing him of failing to manage the country.

He said Ghanaians would decide again in 2016, and it would be improper for some people to malign and vilify President Mahama.

Odiifo Acquah used the occasion to pray for all final-year students writing their examinations, in order to come out with flying colours.

At Agona Swedru, the Area Head of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Apostle Baffour Awuah, said the resurrection power could change the dwindling economy for the better.

He urged politicians to rely on God, rather than using their own strength to govern the country, adding that the power of God can help politicians to have smooth administration.

Elder Philip Opoku Sarkodie, Territorial Deacon of the Central Regional branch of CAC, praised various women groups in the country for their continuous prayers for peace and stability of the country
