Easter: 'Let’s renew hope amidst challenges' – Akufo-Addo

Nana Akufo-Addo, 2016 Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party

The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Akufo-Addo has called on Ghanaians to use the Easter festivities to renew hope in the future of the country, despite the hardship.

“Thus, let us renew and strengthen our faith in God and continue to pray for a free and prosperous future for Ghana. I am confident that we can transform our nation and use all the blessings that the Almighty has bestowed on us to bring wealth to all our people, if we work at it,” the three-time flagbearer said in his Easter message.

Below is the full statement:

“On the occasion of Easter, which marks the death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, I send best wishes to all Ghanaians, Christians, and members of the New Patriotic Party.

“During the period of joy and celebration, I urge all believers to reflect on the important sacrifice Jesus Christ made for each of us on the Cross of Calvary. The resurrection of Jesus is the triumphant victory for every Christian.

“For us in Ghana, the festivities should be a time of renewed hope in the midst of the numerous challenges and economic difficulties confronting our country. Easter is the testimony of the possibility for a new life of hope. Thus, let us renew and strengthen our faith in God and continue to pray for a free and prosperous future for Ghana. I am confident that we can transform our nation and use all the blessings that the Almighty has bestowed on us to bring wealth to all our people, if we work at it.

“To true adherents and members of the New Patriotic Party, I continue to advise that we conduct ourselves in a manner that underlines our commitment to the fact that there is hope for the future of our country. Ghanaians are looking to the NPP to win November’s elections and, thereby, speed up the development of our nation and the prosperity of every Ghanaian.

“I wish all Ghanaians a Happy Easter, and may God bless our country Ghana, the NPP, and us all.”
