Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has shared an uplifting New Year message, expressing his faith in God’s plans for a brighter future.

Speaking during the 31st Watch Night service at the Lighthouse Chapel International, Dr Bawumia encouraged Ghanaians to embrace hope and gratitude as they step into 2025.

The Vice President, who is also the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer for the 2024 elections, attended the service with his wife, Samira Bawumia, NPP National Chairman Stephen Ntim, and other senior party members.

In his speech, Dr Bawumia expressed his gratitude to God for the peaceful conduct of the 2024 December elections and urged all Ghanaians to adopt a spirit of thanksgiving.

“The book of Thessalonians 5:18 tells us that in all things, give thanks to God. I have an abiding faith in the Lord, and for what He has done for us, we give Him thanks,” he said.

He also took the opportunity to thank the host of the service, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, describing him as “an amazing man of God” and acknowledging his contributions to the church and the nation.

“Bishop Dag is truly blessed, and we thank God for his life,” Dr Bawumia remarked.

Reflecting on his personal journey and the year ahead, the Vice President expressed confidence in God’s purpose for his life.

“I know and believe that God has a plan for me for greater and better things in the future,” he stated.

Dr Bawumia concluded his message by wishing the congregation and all Ghanaians a prosperous New Year.

“From my wife and me, we wish you a Happy New Year. God bless Lighthouse Chapel, and God bless Bishop Dag,” he said.
