Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the Presiding Archbishop and General Overseer of Action Chapel International (ACI), has made a fervent appeal to President John Dramani Mahama, urging him to prioritise his “reset agenda” and lead Ghana towards renewed progress and transformation.
Speaking at the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving held on Tuesday, July 1, in Accra, Archbishop Duncan-Williams expressed a profound hope for a Ghana where citizens are no longer compelled to seek opportunities abroad.
He envisioned a nation where Ghanaians would only travel internationally for leisure and holidays, rather than in search of “greener pastures.”
The Archbishop called upon Ghanaians to embrace their homeland, pursue their education locally, and ultimately thrive within the country’s borders. He underscored the importance of cultivating a nation replete with opportunities for all, ensuring success can be achieved without the necessity of seeking a better life beyond Ghana’s frontiers.
Archbishop Duncan-Williams charged President Mahama to “continue doing his utmost to make Ghana a better and more prosperous place for its people.”
He encouraged the President to believe in the tangible possibility of meaningful change during his single term in office.
Drawing inspiration from the life of Jesus Christ, the revered spiritual leader urged President Mahama to lead with faith and unwavering determination, even within the constrained timeframe of four years, to actualise the development and progress Ghanaians earnestly seek.
Reflecting on Ghana’s historical trajectory, Archbishop Duncan-Williams lamented a past when Ghana was seemingly ahead of nations like Singapore, China, and Malaysia in terms of development.
He expressed concern that these nations have now significantly surpassed Ghana.
His impassioned message served as both a resolute call to action for the leadership and a heartfelt plea for national renewal, firmly rooted in principles of faith, unity, and purposeful governance.
He emphasised the critical need for decisive leadership coupled with a clear national vision to fully restore Ghana’s inherent promise and potential.
