President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to stay united and work hard to ensure a prosperous 2023.
The President made the call after he joined the Accra Ridge Church congregation to usher in the new year.
His wife, Rebecca, members of his household, the Chief of Staff, Madam Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, and government officials were with him at the watch-night service.
The watch-night service was marked with songs of praise and thanksgiving to God for seeing the country through the challenges of 2022.
There were intercessory prayers for the nation, the Government, and all organs of the State.
Prayers were offered for the restoration of the fortunes of the country, the sick, the needy, the bereaved, the family, the church, the personal development of Ghanaians and for the unity and prosperity of the nation.
In a sermon delivered by Reverend Father Reginald Lawson, a minister of the Church, he called on Ghanaians to “return to God” to deliver the country from the socioeconomic challenges of 2022.
Rev. Fr. Lawson told the congregation that Ghana, just like the rest of the world had had a difficult 2022.
However, despite those challenges, God has been available.
Rev Fr. Lawson ended his sermon by admonishing congregants to do their part as citizens to help improve the economy.
President Akufo-Addo encouraged the nation and was optimistic that, with a united front, Ghana will over come all challenges and be prosperous in the coming year.
“Let’s just work hard, stay united and we’ll make progress, hopefully [2023 will be] better than 2022,” he told TV3.
