Ghana is shared responsibility that cannot be accomplished by the President alone.

“President John Dramani Mahama is committed to deal with the issue of galamsey. Our President is committed to deal with the galamsey fraud issue. And he is committed to reseting Ghana. It is a high that all Ghanaians prayed to President Dramani Mahama as we work together to reset Ghana,” Honourable Sosu reassured.
The MP who doubles as a law practitioner demonstrated how he was able to inform the President Dramani Mahama on the various messages he received from the congregations of the churches he has attended after the just ended 2024 general elections.
“Because we just came out from the successfully general elections which was held on Saturday December 7,2024, anytime l mount a pulpit and want to speak to the congregations in church, l always tempted to say “Eye Zu, eye zaa, eme nafa mia mia, which is the National Democratic Congress (NDC) popular slogan.
“However, after l have finished speaking to congregations at the church l have reached
out to President His Excellency John Dramani Mahama and told him that is the message that the great people of Ghana want you to have.
“And l followed the message straight to President Dramani Mahama and told him that the church wants you referring to (President John Dramani Mahama) make your promise to the nation when it comes to fighting against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or asexual (LGBTQIA+) practice in the country.
“The church wants you to fulfil your promises when it comes to the dealing with the Illegal small-scale mining, commonly referred to as “galamsey” in Ghana and the church wants you to fulfil your promises when it comes to tackling against corruption.

According to the legal luminary, President Dramani Mahama responded that the National Democratic Congress would not fail the good people of Ghana.
“His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama has asked him to assure the church that the resetting agenda of Ghana is a collective responsibility and that the NDC government canot do it alone because the nation has sunk all time low.
“A lot of things have been destroyed, our independent institutions of the state, when you look at the country’s debt stock now as we speak today is over 700 million and that many things have been destroyed and look at our cedis today. So the only way we can reset Ghana is when you (referring to congregations) help us to reset Ghana we want.
“As we are concerned, we are going to lead the people of Ghana with belief, fear of God and respecting the people of Ghana and eschewing
arrogance and ensuring that Ghana becomes better after the four years administration of His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama,’ Honourable Sosu reaffirmed.
Finally he noted that President Dramani Mahama asked to pledge a humble sum of GH₵10,000.00 to support 80th anniversary of the church.
Following initiative, the MP presented a cheque of GH₵10,000.00 to the church to support developmental projects and programmes of the church.
The MP believes that the church would continue to remember “us in prayers because without God we cannot grow.”

The man of God charged the people who find themselves in the leadership positions to set good examples for refraining from corrupt practices.
