President John Dramani Mahama has made a call to all Ghanaians to hold those in authority, including himself, accountable.
According to John Mahama, even the office of the President, which by the grace of God he now holds, is not above the law.
Speaking at the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving on Tuesday, July 1, President Mahama stated, “Let us remain vigilant against the voices of tribalism, the voices of religious extremism and against the poison of political division. 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 added.
John Mahama further added, “We must hold those in authority, including myself, accountable to the highest standards of integrity and humility.
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”.
“Even the office of the President, which by the grace of God I now hold, is not above the law.”
Also, the Founder and General Overseer of Action Chapel International, the Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, has boldly told President John Dramani Mahama to, within three years, make a difference.
The man of God called on President Mahama to impact the world and change the narrative of Ghana.
The revered clergyman urged to lead a bold transformation agenda that will strengthen the economy and unite the nation under a clear, long-term development vision.
Speaking during the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving held on Tuesday, July 1, at the State House in Accra, Nicholas Duncan-Williams stated, “Mr President, within three years, make a difference. Impact this world and change the narrative of Ghana. Let the Cedi thrive under your leadership.
Let the Cedi flourish under your leadership and let things get better and better under your leadership like never before,” he declared.
Archbishop Duncan-Williams further added, “We need to develop a strong love for God. Also, love the country and the love for Ghana,” he said, warning against political divisions that weaken national progress.
Meanwhile, the National Day of Prayer assembled political leaders, clergy, and civil society groups together under the theme of thanksgiving and hope.
