President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated that Ghana’s progress depends on national unity, urging Ghanaians to reject division, hatred, and intolerance.
Speaking at the Eid-ul-Fitr celebration in Accra on Monday, March 31, 2025, President Mahama called on religious leaders, community elders, and the youth to actively promote peace, understanding, and mutual respect.
“I urge all Ghanaians, especially our religious leaders, community elders, and the youth, to keep fostering peace and understanding amongst us,” he said.
He added, “Let us reject division, let us reject hatred, and let us reject intolerance. The Ghana we desire can only be built through collaboration and mutual respect.”
President Mahama also commended the Muslim community for their invaluable contributions to Ghana’s development, particularly in education, healthcare, business, and governance.
“Our Muslim communities have made significant contributions to our development, and I must commend them for this. From education and healthcare to business and governance, the influence of our Muslim brothers and sisters is evident throughout the country. Our Zongo communities remain centres for entrepreneurship and cultural enrichment,” Mahama stated.
He stressed the need for equitable development in Muslim-majority areas, ensuring that these communities progress in tandem with the rest of the country.
“We must ensure that the development in our Muslim communities is balanced and catches up with the rest of the country,” he urged.
President Mahama emphasized the importance of inclusive growth strategies to bridge disparities and foster a united, forward-thinking Ghana.
