President John Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to religious inclusivity, stressing the importance of protecting Ghana’s religious diversity to promote national unity and peaceful coexistence.
Speaking at the 10th World Assemblies of God Congress, themed One Mandate, Every Nation, on Wednesday, October 14, President Mahama revealed his Christian faith remained a source of strength but did not supersede his constitutional responsibility to serve all Ghanaians fairly, regardless of their religious beliefs.
“As President, I have a sworn duty to serve every Ghanaian: Christians of every denomination. My responsibility as president requires me to serve all Ghanaians fairly, regardless of their religious beliefs, including Christians, Muslims, traditional religious practitioners and citizens who profess no faith,” he said.
Further, President Mahama acknowledged that his commitment to treating people of different faiths fairly had sometimes raised questions among some Christian leaders about his religious convictions.
“Ghana’s religious diversity is our most precious possession, and we must continue to nurture the relationships that enable neighbours of different faiths to live, work and care for one another,” he said.
He urged Ghanaians to strengthen relationships across religious communities to foster mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and national unity.
