The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene has made a passionate appeal to political parties and religious bodies not to let politics and religious boundaries or affiliations divide the country.
Amoakohene made the call during the National Prayer and Thanksgiving Service where he tasked Muslims gathered at the Kumasi Central Mosque to pray for the nation by exercising strong faith in ensuring that their religious differences and political affiliations are not used as tool harm the peace the nation is enjoying.
He rather advocated for a sustainable national development.
The National Prayer and Thanksgiving service brought together religious leaders, political figures, traditional authorities, and citizens across the country to pray.
He said the day 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 said. Ghana’s peace and progress must come first before party interests or doctrinal differences,” he said.
He emphasized 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.
He appealed to faith leaders, both Christian and Muslim to use their platforms to promote love, reconciliation, and unity, not division or suspicion.
