President John Mahama has emphasised the importance of unity and vigilance against forces that threaten Ghana’s social cohesion.
Speaking at the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving held in Accra on Tuesday, July 1, the President urged Ghanaians to embrace peace, compassion, and mutual respect.
“Let us remain vigilant against the voices of tribalism, against the voices of religious extremism, and against the poison of political hostility. These are the seeds of division that we must never let take root in our precious nation, Ghana.
“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,” he said.
The event, led by President Mahama, was envisioned as more than a religious gathering—it was framed as a movement for healing, reconciliation, and national renewal.
With support from leaders across the political and religious spectrum, the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving served as a powerful moment of reflection and hope for all Ghanaians.
The day featured a Christian prayer service at the forecourt of the State House in Accra, as well as a Muslim prayer session at the Ghana National Mosque.
Simultaneous events were also held across the country, uniting people of all faiths in a shared spirit of solidarity and national purpose.
