Prophet Dr Eric Nana Kwasi Amponsah, General Overseer of the Hope Generation Ministry International, has called on the public to support the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

He said the fight could only be won if Ghanaians observe the safety protocols of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ghana Health Service by washing hands under running water, observing social distancing, the wearing of face masks and avoiding handshakes.

Prophet Dr Amponsah made the call in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Sunday.

He said the COVID-19 disease was real and that everybody should adopt the precautionary measures outlined by the health experts to avoid the spread of the pandemic.

Prophet Dr Amponsah commended government and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the leadership played in the fight against the pandemic.

On the political scene, Prophet Dr Amponsah urged political leaders to go about the 2020 election campaign with circumspection to safeguard the peace of the country.

He said they should also avoid politics of insults and attacks on personalities and rather do campaigns that address issues, which would bring about development to all Ghanaians.

The General Overseer urged politicians to speak peace as they go about their campaigns and not talk as if we want to create conflicts, war and tensions in the communities.

‘Whoever mounts a political platform should know that Ghana is at stake and we should ensure that peace continues to reign ‘, Prophet Dr Amponsah said.
