PCG Congratulates Presidential Candidates After Peaceful Elections
CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE FROM THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF GHANA TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IN THE 2016 ELECTIONS AND THE PEOPLE OF GHANA
The Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) wishes to congratulate the people of Ghana for their show of maturity during and after the just ended presidential and parliamentary elections.
The peaceful nature of the elections and the calm posture of both the winning and the losing presidential candidates, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, and others after the elections have given concrete expression to the oft-repeated claim that the Ghanaian is, generally, God-fearing, tolerant,and peace-loving. These are great strengths on which Ghana must build in our collective efforts to achieve our national goals.
We congratulate the Electoral Commission, the Security Services, the Judiciary, and the Media, for the important roles they played toward the success of the elections. It is our hope that the reassuring sense of responsibility and commitment to the national interest demonstrated in the past few days by the various stake-holders will grow and not diminish. These are virtues we need for our nation to develop.
We would like to express our concerns about media reports of attacks on NDC members by NPP supporters and vice versa. We are happy to know that the leadership of both NPP and NDC have condemned those attacks.
The PCG calls on all Ghanaians to keep on praying with the same enthusiasm as before the elections because we need the favour of God to achieve our collective goals for a prosperous Ghana. It is instructive to recall that during their campaign tours, both His Excellency the President and the now President-elect never stopped to openly express their trust in God to give them victory. The favour of God on the nation is more urgently needed now than ever.
May God bless you all; may God bless our Homeland Ghana.
