As Ghana negotiates its political environment, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the Presiding Archbishop and General Overseer of the Action Chapel International ministry, has urged for divine intervention and peace. The revered cleric prayed for President Nana Akufo-Addo during a special prayer session, averting any possible disruption that would occur during a transition to former President and opposition leader John Dramani Mahama.
Yen claims that Archbishop Duncan-Williams prayed fervently for God to guide and protect President Akufo-Addo as he leads the nation. In addition, he prayed for unity and wisdom among Ghana's leaders, stressing the importance of a peaceful and orderly political transition in the event that Mahama assumes power. "We declare peace for the country. Any schemes involving confusion, instability, or unrest that might surface during the changeover process are canceled. "May God's will be carried out and may the Ghanaians stay united," he said.
The timing of his prayers coincides with political parties stepping up their campaigns and debates in anticipation of the upcoming general elections. Calling on political leaders to put the stability of the country ahead of their own partisan interests, the Archbishop advised Ghanaians to maintain their composure and have faith in God's purpose for the country. An extremely well-liked person in Ghana and outside, Duncan-Williams has frequently used his position to promote peace and reconciliation in the country's politics. Many Ghanaians find his most recent intercession to be a timely appeal for divine direction in the face of possible uncertainty.
The Archbishop's prayers have elicited differing responses from supporters of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). Regardless of the outcome of the election, some have urged political leaders to take preemptive measures to guarantee a smooth transition, while others have praised his attempts to promote peace. Archbishop Duncan-Williams' prayers are a reminder of Ghana's common aspiration for prosperity and unity despite political rivalry as the country gets ready for the future. His message of peace emphasizes the value of cooperation, communication, and faith in creating a more powerful and peaceful Ghana.
