President John Dramani Mahama urged Ghanaians to safeguard the nation’s enduring peace and reject division, extremism, and intolerance.
He was speaking at the National Eid al-Adha celebrations at Accra’s Black Star Square, on Wednesday May 27, 2026.
He noted that the occasion’s message is particularly vital given the global rise in conflict, contrasting it with Ghana’s legacy of harmony where Christians and Muslims have long shared communities, schools, businesses, and family ties.
To preserve this stability, the President called for sustained unity, mutual respect, and active resistance against tribalism, political intolerance, and dangerous ideologies.
“I urge all Ghanaians, irrespective of religion or ethnicity, to continue promoting peace, tolerance, understanding, and mutual respect. We must reject extremism, political intolerance, tribal divisions, and all acts that threaten our national unity,” he said.
President Mahama concluded by invoking the Prophet Muhammad’s teachings of mercy, humility, honesty, kindness, and justice, encouraging all citizens to adopt these values to strengthen national cohesion.
