President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, has reiterated his pledge to establish a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, which will be observed annually across the country.
Speaking at a thanksgiving service held at the Assemblies of God Church in Accra on Sunday, Mahama emphasized the importance of coming together as a nation to offer gratitude and seek divine guidance for the nation’s future.
In his address, Mr Mahama underscored the value of dedicating a specific day each year to collectively reflect on the nation’s progress and challenges.
He stressed that such a day would serve as an opportunity for Ghanaians to unite in prayer, giving thanks for the blessings received and seeking God’s direction for the country’s continued development.
The President-elect highlighted that the initiative would not only foster national unity but also encourage spiritual reflection among the citizenry.
“I have announced that when I become president, I will institute a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving every year. Every year as a nation we will take time off to pray and thank God and I am going to be a significant part of that thanksgiving,” Mahama stated.
Mahama also expressed his gratitude to his family and supporters who stood by him throughout the campaign.
“Now I give thanks to my wife Lordina and my children who have been through this with me. All of them became campaigners and were seen on the campaign trail… I want to thank my siblings. They have given me great support… I want to thank Ring Way Gospel Centre,” he added.
Mahama’s initiative aims to foster a sense of unity and reflection among Ghanaians, reinforcing the nation’s commitment to faith and gratitude.
