In his view, a nation becomes what it citizens vote for therefore “we have to pray that citizens make intelligent choices.
Pastor Otabil comment comes on the proliferation of prayer and peace concerts across the country due to the upcoming elections.
Majority of them being championed by the Christian Council of Ghana is to call for God’s intervention to avert any pandemonium in the presidential and parliamentary polls.
