President-elect Nana Akufo-Addo has asked Ghanaians to remember the less fortunate in society as Ghana joins the world to mark Christmas.

In a Facebook post Saturday, the president-elect urged celebrants to feed the hungry and offer comfort to those in need.

He said: "Let us all celebrate the season safely and responsibly, and remember to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves in this season of giving. Let our open hearts and warm smiles help feed those who are hungry and offer comfort to those in need.

"Let us take the time to gather, love, listen, and learn from each other, and to remember that together, and with the help of God, we can overcome any challenge and achieve any future of which we can dream."

Earlier, his New Patriotic Party (NPP) urged Ghanaians pray for him to serve the interest of Ghanaians.

"We want to use this occasion to re-assure the nation that the incoming NPP government will seek effective partnership with all Ghanaians, individuals and groups, as we work together to ensure that the new era of change engenders the kind of progress and prosperity that will satisfy the needs and aspirations of the people," the NPP said.
