Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has commended President John Dramani Mahama for instituting the upcoming National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, slated for July 1, 2025.
Speaking during a courtesy visit by the planning committee at his residence, the former President emphasised the need for civility, peace, and unity in the country.
“All of us have to support this initiative. It is clearly a worthwhile initiative, that we have this one day where all of us come together to give thanks to the almighty for the many, many blessings he has bestowed upon us,” he stated.
He noted that despite experiencing coups in its history, Ghana has remained one of the few African countries to avoid civil war.
Although Akufo-Addo disclosed he will be out of the country on the day due to prior commitments, he pledged his full support for the event.
Chairman of the planning committee, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, expressed appreciation to the former President for his endorsement.
“He welcomed us, endorsed the whole programme and thanked the president for the great initiative. He commended us and we are very grateful,” he said.
