The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama has pledged to introduce an annual national day of prayer and thanksgiving when elected president in the 2024 election.
The former President has said the day is to bring together all faiths to express gratitude and seek divine guidance for Ghana.
“So we will hold a national day of prayers for both the Christian and Muslim communities so that all of us together will continue to intercede for God to open the gates for Ghana so that our country will prosper,” he declared.
Mr Mahama announced this while interacting with religious leaders in Ho of the Volta Region as part of his campaign tour.
“We will give thanks to God for all that God has done for us because he said count your blessings and if you appreciate what the Lord has done for you he will do even more for you,” he noted.
Citing biblical reference and experience from other countries, he emphasised the essence of Thanksgiving in every situation.
“Even though God expect to work hard to improve our circumstances, also recognize that spiritually you must intercede for God to open the gates for you and so in the United States, in Zambia and so many countries I have been to, I have been invited to a National thanksgiving and prayers dedication and so we intend to introduce a national day of prayer and thanksgiving,” Mr Mahama added.
