Let’s use Eid to strengthen unity, build Ghana – Mahama

President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has called on Ghanaians to use the occasion of Eid ul Adha to deepen national unity and reaffirm their collective commitment to building a better future for the country.

In a message shared via official presidential communications channels, Mahama emphasised the spirit of brotherhood and cooperation that defines Eid ul Adha, urging citizens to reflect those values in their everyday efforts to develop Ghana.

“Let’s use this celebration to strengthen our bonds of brotherhood and the commitment to work together to build the Ghana we want,” he stated.

The message, issued under the banner of the Presidency’s communications office, highlights the importance of shared responsibility, particularly at a time when Ghana faces various economic and social challenges.

Eid ul Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the most significant holidays in the Islamic calendar. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God—a message Mahama echoed by calling for personal and collective sacrifice in service to national progress.
