National Chairman of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has urged Ghanaians to focus on offering prayers and encouragement to strengthen President John Dramani Mahama and the government, rather than inundating the nation with further prophecies.

He made the call following last Wednesday’s helicopter crash, speaking at the Muslim funeral rites of the late Alhaji Mohammed Muniru, one of the eight victims of the tragedy.

Mr. Nketia stressed that nothing happens without the knowledge of God, whether described as Allah or the Almighty.

While acknowledging that prophecies have their place, he noted they should not dominate the national discourse at a time when collective resilience is needed.

He called on the public to channel their energy into supporting the leadership in working towards national healing and progress, describing the loss of the eight as a moment to confront the country’s challenges.
