The National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has called on all its members and supporters, as well as well-meaning Ghanaians (Christians, Muslims and all other Faiths), to seek the face of God Almighty to intervene in the outbreak of Covid-19 coronavirus.
He noted that God Almighty is the only and forever reliable hope for this crisis in the World.
In a statement issued and signed by Hon. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, National Chairman of the great NDC, said the Party fully supports the need for every person in Ghana to strictly observe the precautionary measures and directives outlined by the mandated health regulatory bodies and the government in our collective effort to eliminate this debilitating disease which currently has no known cure.
The statement entreated the Office of the National Chief Imam and the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission to offer special prayers on Friday for the Nation, using their newly adopted ways of worship following the temporary suspension of public gatherings.
The NDC hereby declares a nationwide 3-day fasting and prayer which is to be observed from our various homes starting Friday, 20th to Sunday 22nd March 2020. We encourage all our party faithful and well-meaning Ghanaians to fervently pray for the speedy intervention of the Almighty God in this situation.
It said” The holy scripture says in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that, “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land”, our faithful God is ever ready to help us in our needs.
Deuteronomy 4:7 says, “For what nation has a god as near to them as the Lord our God is near to us whenever we call on him?” Those who know Him will always call on Him.”
