Unity, key ingredient for progress, development - Rt Rev Andam to NPP
The immediate past Kumasi Diocesan Bishop of the Methodist Church, Ghana, Rt Rev. Christopher Nyarko Andam, has underscored the fact that unity has the power to break any obstacle and achieve the impossible.
Speaking on the topic, "The power of unity," and using the bible story of Babel, the preacher man said irrespective of whatever association, unity was crucial to propelling such a union into realising whatever dream it sets itself to do.
