Ghanaians must pray for economic growth in 2014 – Akufo-Addo

Nana Akufo-Addo in his New Year message issued on Thursday advised Ghanaians to welcome 2014 with renewed optimism in the face of dwindling economic fortunes of the country.

The 2012 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) also urged Ghanaians to offer constant prayers for the leadership of the country to “find the humility, compassion, competence and confidence to serve us and serve us well.”

The statement added: “Let us all protect our integrity, serve our nation with selflessness, and keep our focus on the greater good, which is to strive and strive to create a free and prosperous society of opportunities for every Ghanaian, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or social status.

“Let us continue to believe in Ghana by doing our bit to achieve the Ghana that we desire.

“My wife Rebecca, the family and I wish every Ghanaian a Happy New Year! May God bless Ghana. May God bless us all.”
