PRESIDENT MAHAMA DECLARES THREE DAYS OF FASTING AND PRAYERS FOR CONTINUOUS PEACE AND STABILITY IN GHANA
His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana is urging Christians and Muslims including all people of faith to dedicate three days (Friday, 2nd – Sunday, 4th December, 2016) to fast and pray for the nation ahead of the imminent December 7 elections.
As we fast and pray for continuous peace and stability in Ghana before, during and after the elections, the President is further urging all to dedicate their specific days of worship- Friday, Saturday and Sunday to pray to God to intercede for Ghana.
It is his belief that through fasting and prayers, supported by appropriate measures and actions on the part of all stakeholders, “Our dear nation will once again demonstrate to the world that Ghana is not only the beacon of hope for Africa’s Democracy but also the nation ready and willing to continue on the path of progress and prosperity for all.”
(Signed)
EDWARD K. OMANE BOAMAH(DR)

It's apparent that the President is oblivious to th daily struggles faced by the overwhelming majority of Ghanaians. People have been in economic fasting since he became president, due to his incompetence and cluelessness of how to revive a stagnant economy. So you are coming to join us in the fast. We started a long time ago.
Thank God, that all of you spewing Ruuubbbbbish are not God.... Because does not exist in your reprobate mind and God does not think like you people. God accepts anyone who draws nigh to him, THIS IS A GOOD THING, but spiritual babes because of tribalism and political affiliation are still Talking Nooonseeense......You people are SAD....
Ok will definately will....Opana 1 Jehovah is NOT TO BE MOCK ...U will Loose in Jesus Name..Amen
WHEN SOUL WAS KING OVER ISRAEL HE DID A LOT OF EVIL AND WICKEDNESS. BECAUSE OF THAT HE GOT POSSESSED BY THE SPIRITS. ONE TIME HE WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE DEAD SPIRIT OF SAMUEL. NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIED IT WAS TOO BAD AND TOO LATE TO APPEAL TO GOD WHO REJECTED HIM FOR DAVID. MAHAMA HAS BEEN TOO UNJUST AND CORRUPT THAT HE SEEMS TO BE REJECTED BY GOD. EVERYTHING IS GOING AGAINST HIM, THOUGH HE IS FIGHTING HARD TO KEEP HIS BALANCE. UNFORTUNATELY HE KEEPS MADDING SITUATION BY ATTEMPTING TO BUY EVERYBODY TO BOOST HIM UP. PASTORS, ARTIST AND JOURNALIST HAVE BEEN PAID HEAVILY TO KEEP HIM BUT IT IS NOT WORKING. MAHAMA RESIGN AND TAKE A REST OR YOU DESTROY YOURSELF LIKE SOUL DID TO HIMSELF AND THE GOOMAN JONATHAN
3-day fasting so you can win?! Have you paid GETFund scholarships abroad? Students are suffering, some are thrown out of school for non-payment of fees, sitting on the streets in this icy weather because YOU and your government have refused to release monies and now you want God to help you to win the election to continue this unabated rape of the country?! Do you even care about the students? If that had been you kids would you not make sure they're safe and sound in a foreign land? Your hypocrisya d that of other ndc people knows no bounds! I guess Yahya Jammeh's defeat has given you another shock after your friend Hilary! You thought when Hilary won you had a chum in the White Hiuse because you made her visit your private home and look at your home cinema when Mills died? You are going ooooooo you're going! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🖕🏾
Oh Lord, you said if anyone comes to you, you would not turn him away. Kindly give an ear to this man and many others, who are on their knees interceding for Ghana. When it is all over, give Ghana a president of your hearts desire. Amen
Hypocrisy waaa waaa waaa. You send people to do bad things on your behalf and turn around to act holy! No thank you!
I am starting on 4th if I pray for myself why not Ghana
Please stop fooling people with this prayers and fasting because nothing would change unless we change our way of thinking, that's greediness, bribery, nepotism etc. The abrokyire people don't pray and fast but they are doing well. Ghana wake up!! Africa wake up !! We've been sleeping for so long.
Nana declared a 21 day fast long before this one.
