Former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama
Former President John Dramani Mahama has prayed for God's mercy on Ghana so the country overcomes the coronavirus epidemic.
In his Easter message to Ghanaians, the leader and flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Mahama stated: "it is my prayer that this season will offer our dear nation God's unfailing Mercy and Grace to overcome the surge of our present pain, COVID-19".
"The crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is the reason for our hope of Eternal Glory", he said in a Facebook post.
Mahama indicated that in his second term as president, he “will double the bed capacity of the 37 military hospital and build an Infectious Diseases Centre there to cater for the Southern sector in order to help manage infections like Ebola and COVID-19”.
John Mahama who is leading the National Democratic Congress (NDC), also reiterated his “call for government to provide adequate PPEs to health workers, ensure testing of as many people as possible for the COVID-19 virus as we stay home during the extended lockdown period, observing social distancing protocols and washing our hands with soap under running water, regularly”.
