A Deputy Minister of Information has called on all Ghanaians to pray for President John Dramani Mahama, as he celebrates his fifty-five birthday. Speaking on Metro TV's "Good Morning Ghana" programme on Friday, Murtala Mohammad said all must be interested in the well being of the President so that he can have the strength to undertake all the promises in the manifesto of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC). ��So we all need to pray for him. You don�t necessarily have to be NDC before you can pray for your Excellency the President. He is the President of the Republic of Ghana and I think that his health, his strength is significant. You can pray for him and when it is time for elections in 2016; you come out to contest him, why not?� the Deputy Minister opined.
