“We commend them for their exemplarily and servant leadership style which will serve as a godly model for the younger generation”.

The church called on Ghanaians to put the elections behind them and unite in the spirit of love for God and country and support the new leaders to implement their vision to build a better Ghana.

“We as a church are highly honoured to have one of our own become the Vice President of Ghana. We pledge our consistent prayer to ensure that the reason why God put them there will be fulfilled,” the statement said.
