Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has expressed his support for the upcoming National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, scheduled for July 1, 2025, emphasising the importance of grounding governance in values such as humanity, unity, and inclusiveness.
He made these remarks on Friday, May 30, 2025, when the Planning Committee for the event paid a courtesy call on him at his residence in Peduase.
Commending former President John Dramani Mahama for initiating the event, Kufuor described Republic Day as a momentous occasion.
“Republic Day marks the day Ghana appointed its first president. It is not a day to be taken lightly. If President Mahama, in his faith, sees this not only as a time to commemorate Ghana becoming a republic but also to offer thanksgiving to God and pray for greater prosperity, then I believe he is right, and I support him. We look forward to the celebration,” Kufuor said.
President Mahama has announced that Ghana will now observe July 1, traditionally celebrated as Republic Day, as the country’s official National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving.
