The CEO of Christian Advocacy Africa, Rev. Opuni Frimpong, has urged the church to unite in prayer for the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama.
According to Rev. Frimpong, President Mahama is championing a commendable cause that could face opposition from external forces, but with the prayers of the church, he can overcome any challenge and continue to raise Ghana’s flag high.
He made the comments on The Big Agenda on Adom TV following the adoption of the slavery resolution as a crime against humanity by 123 United Nations member states. Out of 178 UN member states, 123 voted in favor, three voted against, and 52 abstained.
The renowned man of God noted that, although other countries supported the resolution, President Mahama bore the greatest responsibility.
“This victory is not only for Ghana but for the entire world, and President John Dramani Mahama deserves recognition for leading this resolution,” he said.
Rev. Frimpong, a former General Secretary of the Christian Council, also urged government officials not to publicize the achievement politically. He warned that if the resolution becomes a tool for partisan politics, its significance could be diminished.
He emphasized that the outcome of the slavery resolution should remain non-partisan and praised President Mahama for his dedication. “No matter one’s political affiliation, all Ghanaians should be proud that their president has achieved this milestone through a difficult process,” he stated.
Drawing a parallel with Ghana’s first president, Rev. Frimpong said, “Ghana had Kwame Nkrumah fighting for the nation, and now we have another Kwame Nkrumah fighting for Ghana and Africa. The outcome of this resolution is a victory for all of Africa and the 13 million people who suffered from the slave trade.”
He concluded by urging the church to come together in prayer for President Mahama so he can continue the brave work he has begun.
