Amoakohene made the call during the National Prayer and Thanksgiving Services where he tasked Muslims gathered at the Kumasi Central Mosque to pray for the nation by expediting strong faith in ensuring that their religious differences and political affiliations are not use as tool of barrier to disarm the peace the nation is enjoying rather advocate for a sustainable and develop nation.
The event, is supposed to be celebrated as a Republic Day, has been subtituted as national prayer and Thanksgiving brought together religious leaders, political figures, traditional authorities, and citizens across the country to observing the day of prayers and Thanksgiving, should be a moment of reflection, gratitude, and spiritual awakening.
The Regional Minister who also prayed with Christians at the Calvary Charismatic Center (CCC) reminded the congregation that while Ghanaians may belong to different political parties and religious groups, they are ultimately one people under one nation and one God.
“Religion and politics should enrich our diversity, not divide us,” he declared. Ghana’s peace and progress must come first before party interests or doctrinal differences.”
He stressed that Ghana has long been recognized as a beacon of peace and democracy in Africa, and it must not lose that honor to political rivalry or religious intolerance.
Dr. Amoakohene urged faith leaders, both Christian and Muslim to use their platforms to promote love, reconciliation, and unity, not division or suspicion.
