Mahama urges supporters to pray

Earlier, President-elect John Mahama urged supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to intensify their prayers as the party gears up to lead the country.

He noted that the party would need even greater spiritual support when its tenure begins than during the election campaign period.

He said spiritual guidance and support were necessary to equip the party with the strength and wisdom to implement policies improving Ghanaians’ quality of life.

Speaking to a gathering of NDC supporters, Mahama accused the outgoing New Patriotic Party (NPP) government of leaving behind a colossal debt burden spread across all the various sectors of the economy.

He noted that the debt was particularly significant in the education and energy sectors and must be addressed immediately.

Mahama insinuated that the heavy debt burden was a deliberate entrapment fashioned by the outgoing government that caused his failure in office.

However, he noted that he could successfully overcome those challenges with divine assistance.

“The Almighty God who granted us electoral victory will see us through the difficulties ahead until we achieve success,” he said.
