The General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie aka Sir John, has described this year\u2019s Easter festivities as the worse ever experienced by the nation because the country did not witness the usual Good Friday rains.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Adom News, Sir John said so far as he can remember, the country receives rains from above on Easter Fridays with its attendant thunderstorm but this time round, nothing of that happened on Easter Friday and so that is a sign of God\u2019s anger with the nation.<\/p>\n

There was a heavy downpour with thunderstorm in Accra and surrounding towns on Holy Saturday resulting in power outages in most areas.<\/p>\n

However Sir John said, the rains on every Easter Friday is symbolic as indicated at Luke 23:35 where the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn just after the death of Jesus Christ, rain is what God gives Ghana and that its absence can only be bad.<\/p>\n

Insisting that this Easter is the worse since he was born, Sir John said he had combed the whole of Kumasi but did not come across even a drop of rain and that the situation aptly tells how far the nation has come with bad governance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
