President John Dramani Mahama has called for a renewed national commitment to ethical governance, given that Ghana’s democracy cannot thrive on elections alone.
He spoke these words at the National Mosque in Nima during the Muslim observance of the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving on July 1, 2025.
“Institutions must function with integrity. Justice must not be reserved for only the powerful. And public resources must benefit all of us, not a few,” Mahama said.
The President urged Ghanaians to reflect on whether their actions were building or destroying the nation because “slogans or speeches will not shape the future of Ghana, but the values that we live, the choices that we make, and the faith that we practise.”
The Muslim service was led by National Chief Imam Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu and was attended by dignitaries including Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, Supreme Court justices, members of the Council of State, and representatives of the diplomatic corps.
Earlier in the day, an interdenominational Christian service was held at the forecourt of the State House, led by Cardinal Peter Appiah Turkson. Both events formed part of the inaugural National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, a new annual observance instituted by President Mahama to coincide with Ghana’s Republic Day. The day is intended to foster national unity, spiritual reflection, and gratitude across religious lines.
