Wednesday, March 25, was the National Day of Fasting and Prayer and as such, millions of Ghanaians went on the knees to pray against the coronavirus outbreak in Ghana.
Ghana has recorded 132 cases with 3 deaths and it seems there’s a growing concern from its citizens.
The President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, has banned public gathering, closed down churches and schools (both public and private) and recently closed down markets in Accra for disinfection exercise as part of measures to curb the spread of the pandemic.
And as part of his fighting strategies, Nana Addo declared Wednesday a National Day of Fasting and Prayer.
Among the millions of Ghanaians who joined the 12-hour fasting and prayer session were top celebrities.
From musicians to actors to radio personalities and online influencers, a lot of public figures sacrificed their stomach and time to join the fight.
Gospel musician Empress Gifty (formerly Gifty Osei) was very active on TV3, praying throughout the day. One of the emotional moments was when she laid the Ghana flag on the floor and poured out tears.
He quoted the bible, saying: “Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. Psalm 143:1-2.”
Among the videos she received was one from ace journalist Gifty Anti who shared some powerful prayers.
Rapper Strongman wasn’t left out. He said a short prayer and shared on his Instagram page.
