PREZ ROUNDS OFF VISIT TO CAPE COAST (SPREAD)

THE President, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, has rounded off his three-day visit to Cape Coast by attending a thanksgiving service organised in his honour by the Church of Pentecost, Cape Coast South.
Addressing the congregation, Prof. Mills, who was accompanied by the Regional Minister, Mrs Ama Benyiwah-Doe, called on Ghanaians to join hands in giving thanks to God for granting them His mercies for a peaceful, free and fair elections.
He further asked Ghanaians to continue to pray for peace and development, adding that “countries that have developed have relied on the bountiful mercies of God”.
He commended the church for its immense contribution and prayers for peace before, during and after the elections and urged them to continue to pray for the country’s development.
He also asked Ghanaians to cultivate love for one another and the country and do what would attract God’s blessings.
In a sermon, Apostle Dr Opoku Onyinah, Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, thanked God for guiding Ghanaians through five successive and successful elections under the Fourth Republic.
Apostle Onyinah reminded the congregation of the presence of God and asked them to be steadfast and continue to attract God's blessings for the country.
He said success attracted fame, test, pressure, new foes and new friends and, therefore, urged Ghanaians and the country’s leaders to remain focused and unshaken, as well as to rely on the principles that guided them through success for greater achievements.
On the recent rising rate of carnage on the roads, Apostle Onyinah asked drivers to exercise extreme caution and observe road traffic regulations and be disciplined to help reduce them.
The Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Mr S. V. Akyianu, commended the church, Christians, Muslims and all those who prayed for peace and Prof. Mills's victory.
