The Metropolitan Archbishop of the Our Lady of Annunciation (OLA) Roman Catholic Cathedral, Most Reverend Philip Naameh officiated the service.

President Nana Addo said he was there to worship and to ask for more prayers to be able to fulfill his numerous campaign promises.

He made a personal donation of Ghs 5,000 for the Church’s renovation.

He described Most Reverend Philip Naameh as an honest man of God he knew and respected for ages.

Most Reverend Philip Naameh implored the President and his appointees to be guided by the will of God in governing the nation.

He advised the President not to be pushed by any of his appointees to take ungodly decisions.

Most Reverend Philip Naameh underscored the need for the President to embrace the practice of inclusive governance and continuously listen to God’s directives.
