<\/p>\nThe 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has appealed to Ghanaians to pray earnestly for Ghana.<\/p>\n

Nana Addo made the appeal when he visited some churches in the Western Region.<\/p>\n
Nana Akufo-Addo, who visited 6 churches in the Takoradi and Effia constituencies, on Sunday, the first Sunday of Lent, also asked for prayers for the NPP and for the families of the late Ben Kwaw, the acting NPP Chairman of the Western region, and JB Danquah-Adu, the late MP for Abuakwa North, for God to console them in their time of grief.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn my part I am asking you to pray for me too. Pray to God so he grants me strength, courage, wisdom, and a compassionate heart to be a good leader. In this election year, I am\u00a0 asking you for your support for me and the NPP. I am pleading with you to try me also, so I can show you what I can do for this country and I promise you I will never let you down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nana Akufo-Addo, who received tumultuous welcome in each of the churches he visited admonished congregants that though “we’re going through difficult times in Ghana, I believe we have a great destiny ahead of us. We have an opportunity, this year, peacefully to change Ghana. I am inviting all of you to look deep inside yourselves and be part of this Movement for Change\u00a0so we can have a Ghana that is fit for our young people to grow up in. A Ghana full of wealth and jobs for all our people.”<\/p>\n
