General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has asked the President to back his prayers with works in the fight against coronavirus.
According to him it is good one prays but you must make sure that you provide the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) and resources to fight the deadly coronavirus.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' program, he explained that though the Presdent criticized former President Atta Mills for turning the castle into a prayer camp, he will have to organize great men of God to pray for the country in these hard times.
"The President seems to be slacking in his fight against the disease putting everybody at risk," he said.
He added that as a President, he should learn from other countries who are fighting the virus.
He said it is about time the President comes out to tell Ghanaians the pragmatic measures he has put in place or will be putting in place as a government to reduce the spread and contain the disease.
"The President should act and act fast before the situation gets out of hand," he added.

ndc is all talk no action, till date no policy, no running mate and they still talking.
this opposition is incredibly st upid. what did we do to deserve this senile opposition leaders?
Castle used to be a prayer camp and now jubilee house. who were first to import the virus to ghana with a chartered flight. On board the flight how many of the passengers have test positive for the virus. this is what happens when one is not honest and leads thru deceit. God is not ***barred word***, if one wishes the downfall for political gain this is what happens. PAPITA INO BE FIREWOOD
Asiedu you are aging so we expect sensible things will come out from your, anything that comes up from your mouth does not make sence, Mr Mahama are you happy with this man.
Am surprised Peacefm still carries news and statements emanating from Asiedu Nketsia when has has clearly shown to all of us that he has lost his senses. How can he in one breath claim the President is pretending to be fighting COVID just so he can rig elections and at the same time turn round and claim the President should do something before the situation escalates. How a situation he claimed was non-existent escalate? We do not need to be hearing form such low life men of the basal sort in this times of serious crises. Please spare us the Aseidu Spudidity.
Eiii this man he likes politics paaaaa
Asiedu Nketiah I think is suffering from brain damage. He needs a mental doctor to examine him. I never knew he was such a ***barred word*** ***barred word*** of a general secretary and a politician
I think Asiedu Nketia should be mentally examined for his ***barred word*** utterances. The NDC pay as a whole needs some direction because being in power so long and stealing from state coffers without any accountability made them taught that Ghana was theirs and that will never change but God being so good booted them out of office and are now going crazy. Ghanaians are so wise now and all your ***barred word*** utterances wouldn’t persuade them anymore.
Kwase*a Asiedu Nketiah the president has called upon the most High God not your god kwase*asem did you make him president? Let Ghanaians who voted for him talk not you,enemies of Ghana, amp3 Ghana yieefuo ! You wish Italy is Ghana for you to run with it a campaign message but God will never grant you your wish but God being on the side of Nana no death has been reported. This plague will rest on your heads mo tiriso !IN GOD WE TRUST ! THE BATTLE IS STILL THE LORD'S !!! We serving a living GOD !
