Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, the Chairman of the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving Committee, has warned Ghanaians not to wear political party clothing to the upcoming National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving.
He stressed that the event aims to foster unity, inclusiveness, and a shared dedication to creating a prosperous and peaceful Ghana for future generations, rather than promoting political division. “The attire should be white, celebratory, and incorporate national colors, but absolutely no party colors,” he emphasized.
During the media launch of the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving in Accra on Friday, May 30, Afriyie Ankrah shared the vision and importance of the event. The occasion, themed “Reflect, Reset, and Renew for National Prosperity,” is set to occur on July 1, 2025.
He clarified that the day is meant to unite Christians, Muslims, and followers of other faiths in a collective act of reflection, renewal, and commitment to national harmony and progress.
As part of the day’s events, the Christian segment will take place at the forecourt of the State House in Accra from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, followed by Muslim prayers at the National Mosque from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM.
Emphasizing the significance of this national observance, Afriyie Ankrah referred to the establishment of July 1 as a “bold and unifying decision,” encouraging all Ghanaians, irrespective of their religion, ethnicity, or political beliefs, to come together in gratitude and hope.
“This is a sacred moment. We are called to reflect on our journey as a people—our successes, failures, resilience, and potential.”
He called on citizens to view the day as an opportunity to reset the nation’s mindset, moving away from a culture of blame, greed, and apathy, and instead embracing truth, discipline, and collective responsibility.
