Mr. President Nana Akufo-Addo has addressed Christian leaders on the latest update on his current ban on Church gatherings across the country in a bid to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.
In a meeting held on Tuesday, 21st April 2020, Akufo-Addo revealed to the church leaders his desire to lift the ban on Church gatherings, however, he cannot do that without carefully considering the needed modalities.
“You are major actors in the struggle, the banning of public gatherings that affects the Churches affects each one of you. I felt that with all of this as the background, with the role that you have already played, and continue to play, it would be a good moment for us to meet again and exchange views as to the way forward for our country,” Akufo-Addo noted
On their part, the leadership of the Christian Community pledged their unwavering support for the government as it takes continued steps to stop the spread of the novel Coronavirus, COVID-19 within the Ghanaian territory.
“We are behind what the government is doing and we will do it such that at the end of the day, we will all rejoice for it that we stood together, we were in it together, and we have battled to win together and that the Church can join in the celebration after it all” Rt. Rev. Kwabena Boafo said.”
