President-elect John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his intention to introduce a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, which would be observed each year in Ghana.

Speaking at a thanksgiving service at the Assemblies of God Church in Accra on Sunday, Mahama emphasized the value of setting aside time as a nation to give thanks and seek God's guidance for the country's future.

He highlighted that such a day would not only unite the people but also encourage spiritual reflection and strengthen Ghana's trust in divine support as it works towards overcoming obstacles and achieving national goals.

“I have announced that when I become president, I will institute a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving every year. Every year as a nation we will take time off to pray and thank God and I am going to be a significant part of that thanksgiving,” Mahama stated.

Mahama also took the opportunity to express heartfelt gratitude to his family and supporters, acknowledging their unwavering support throughout his campaign.

“Now I give thanks to my wife Lordina and my children who have been through this with me. All of them became campaigners and were seen on the campaign trail… I want to thank my siblings. They have given me great support… I want to thank Ring Way Gospel Centre,” he added.
