I DIDNT MAKE A PROMISE...MY "DUMSOR STATEMENT"WAS A PRAYER REQUEST

“ I won ’t say I made a promise, it was an all-
night to see the beginning of 2015 and in times
like that , people make wishes to God and I ’ m
the President and seeing the way the erratic
power supply is disturbing this country , should
my prayer to end it be interpreted as a
promise ?
“ It was a prayer request I made to God on
behalf of all Ghanaians and I have faith that
God has listened to my prayers , ” says President
John Dramani Mahama, in answer to critics and
cynicism being expressed by Ghanaians following
his "we will banish darkness from our land and
put an end to dumsor forever” comment .
The President , on 31 st December 2014, during a
CROSSOVER Watch night Service at the Perez
Chapel Int 'l , told the thousands of congregants
whom he had joined to worship God, that his
administration will strive to end the energy
crisis which has plunged the entire country into
a frustrating power rationing system .
“ The year 2015 will be one filled with
fruitfulness , joy , peace , good health and
development. Now this is the interesting part: It
will be one in which we banish darkness from our
land and put an end to dumsor forever” he said
But speaking to Kumasi- based Angel FM on the
2 nd anniversary of his investiture as President
of Ghana , President Mahama explained that his
comment was only a prayer request and should
not be misconstrued as a promise.
“ I won ’t say I made a promise, it was an all-
night to see the beginning of 2015 and in times
like that , people make wishes to God and I ’ m
the President and seeing the way the erratic
power supply is disturbing this country , should
my prayer to end it be interpreted as a
promise ?
“ It was a prayer request I made to God on
behalf of all Ghanaians and I have faith that
God has listened to my prayers , ” President
Mahama stated.
