Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama has called for national unity, urging citizens to transcend tribal, religious, and political divisions that threaten the country’s stability and progress.
Speaking at the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, President Mahama emphasized the need for Ghanaians to foster togetherness and mutual respect.
“Let us remain vigilant against the voices of tribalism, the voices of religious extremism and against the poison of political division,” he said. “These are the seeds of division that we must never let take root in our precious nation, Ghana.”
He encouraged Ghanaians to use language and actions that promote healing and peace, adding, “We must speak a language of peace, compassion, and mutual respect. We must build bridges, not barriers, for we are one people sharing one land and pursuing one identity and destiny.”
President Mahama also stressed the importance of leadership accountability, saying, “Public office is not a privilege for personal gain; it is a sacred trust bestowed by the people and a responsibility to serve all, especially the most vulnerable.” He reaffirmed his commitment to upholding the law, stating, “Even the office of the President… is not above the law.”
The National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving brought together religious leaders, politicians, and citizens in a show of unity and commitment to national renewal.
