Election 2024: Ghanaians asked to rise up in prayer- Apostle Dr. John Sagoe
Ghanaians have been asked to rise up in prayer ahead of the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
According to the Founder of the John Sagoe Ministries and the New International Church in Switzerland, Apostle Dr. John Sagoe he received a message from God on December 31, 2023 regarding Ghana’s election.
Speaking at a Press Briefing held at the Alisa Hotel last Saturday, he indicated that God revealed to him that there would be international interference leading to an unpleasant outcome.
Against this backdrop, he said there is the need for prayers and intercession for the country.
“Therefore, it is important for all Ghanaians and the body of Christ to rise up in prayer against such plans,” he said.
He said the Lord is raising young people in all spheres of leadership positions to change the course of Ghana’s direction because most of the elders have failed the agenda of God.
Apostle Dr. John Sagoe In a related development unveiled his book ‘Rediscovering The Power of The Altar,’ adding that the power of prayer, united in purpose and fueled by faith, proved to be a formidable force against even the darkest of adversaries.
He said, “ ‘Rediscovering The Power of the Altar’ invites you to reawaken this ancient practice in your own life adapted to today’s understanding.”

Ghana’s First Lady, Lordina Mahama, has made a generous donation to the country’s national female Under-17 and Under-20 teams – Black Maidens and Black Princesses- as they continue preparations for major international assignments.
The donation, made on Friday, May 22, was presented on behalf of the First Lady by the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, at the GFA Technical Centre in Prampram.
The gesture forms part of efforts to motivate and support Ghana’s young female footballers as they prepare to represent the country on the international stage.
The donation included essential food items and toiletries aimed at supporting the welfare and well-being of the players and technical teams.
The donation included cartons of Milo, T-rolls, soft drinks, toiletries, and a range of essential supplies aimed at supporting the welfare of the players, enhancing camp conditions, and easing preparations ahead of their respective assignments.
The Black Maidens are currently engaged in preparations for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers and are set to take on Liberia women’s national under-17 football team in the second-leg encounter in Liberia this weekend.
Meanwhile, the Black Princesses have already secured qualification to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup after overcoming Uganda in the qualifiers, extending Ghana’s remarkable record to eight consecutive appearances at the tournament.
The donation by the First Lady was expected to boost morale within both camps while reinforcing national support for the young female footballers who continue to make the country proud.
The prosecution has officially rested its case in The Republic v Solomon Asamoah & Another, the high-profile legal battle commonly referred to as the “Sky Train” case.
The Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai announced the development, praising the state’s team of hard-working prosecutors for successfully anchoring the state’s evidence before the High Court.

The duo stands accused of illegally authorizing and paying out US$2 million to a foreign company without obtaining board directives or other mandatory statutory approvals.
State investigators have confirmed that the disbursed millions cannot be found.
Following the closure of the prosecution’s case, the accused persons moved the court for an opportunity to file a submission of no case.
The presiding judge granted the application, ordering the defense to submit their arguments by June 8.
The outcome of the June 8 filings will decide the fate of the trial:
With this, if the judge finds the defense’s submission convincing, the accused will be acquitted and discharged however, If the judge dismisses the submission, the court will order the accused officials to take the stand and explain why they should not face prison sentences.
