Trust in God’s Guidance in Governance! - Bishop Afrifah-Agyekum urges the President

In his speech, the President emphasised that there has been much talk against the Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE).The Catholic Bishops’ Conference and other Religious bodies have already issued statements against the implementation of the CSE. Nana Akufu-Addo was very clear on point that the CSE will not be implemented.

Before concluding his speech, the President said, "Bishop just reminded me about my trust in God during the election when I said the battle is the Lord's .I haven't forgotten, I still stand by it. I have strong faith in God. All my promises would be fulfilled; it won't be a political talk"

President, Akufo-Addo requested for more prayers from the clergy to enable him deliver on his Promises.
