At an Iftar event with Muslims, President John Dramani Mahama emphasised the moral obligation, forgiveness, and compassion that underpin both faith and national life.
The President said, “As we observe Ramadan, we are also reminded of the importance of renewal and moral responsibility in our national life,”
He emphasised that a person’s behaviour toward others must reflect their true religion.
“If you say you are a true Muslim or a true Christian, and you are hard of heart, unforgiving, wicked, or you kill your fellow human being, then you cannot call yourself a true Muslim or a true Christian.”
The President also recognised the importance of religious leadership in maintaining Ghana’s unity and peace.
“I wish to acknowledge the leadership of the National Chief Imam and the Islamic clergy whose wisdom and guidance continue to strengthen peace and unity in our nation.”
President Mahama went on to say that Ramadan encourages community solidarity, generosity, and compassion.
