In a video on Facebook, Rev Ntim Fordjour asked his congregants to pray for President John Dramani Mahama and his government to succeed. He called on his congregants to pray on the topic irrespective of the political parties they belonged to.
"Our prayer is that Ghana must succeed. Our prayer is that President Mahama must not fail, but President Mahama must succeed. Whatever political party you belong to, let this be your prayer, because the President must not fail before another takes over from him."
Rev Ntim Fordjour continued that the congregants should pray for President Mahama so that he fulfils every mission God has destined for his four-year tenure.
"That 2026 shall be a prosperous year for Ghana. It shall be a peaceful year for Ghana. The territorial borders of Ghana shall be safeguarded by the angels of God; there shall be no infiltration of terrorist attacks. I pray against undue hardship, that the Lord shall be with the President. That when he succeeds, the next President shall take Ghana from there unto another level."
