If You Have Nothing Good To Say About Your Candidate, Don’t Fan Religious Bigotry – Akufo-Addo Jabs Pastors Fanning Anti-Muslim Propaganda

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called on Ghanaians to demonstrate their commitment to unity and tolerance by voting decisively for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming 2024 elections. He emphasized the importance of showcasing Ghana as a shining example of religious harmony and inclusivity on the global stage.

The President’s appeal comes in response to divisive comments reportedly made by a pastor, urging Christian congregants to vote based solely on religious affiliation. President Akufo-Addo condemned such rhetoric, stating that it undermines the nation’s hard-earned reputation as a peaceful and democratic society.

Addressing Ghanaians, the President described religious tolerance as a cornerstone of the country’s identity. He urged citizens to reject any attempts to create division and instead focus on the qualities and vision of the candidates. “If someone cannot present meaningful reasons to support their preferred candidate, resorting to tribal or religious divisions only highlights their lack of substance,” he remarked.

President Akufo-Addo reaffirmed his unwavering support for Vice President Dr. Bawumia, emphasizing the need for Ghanaians to make a powerful statement to the world about the strength of their unity. He encouraged all eligible voters to participate in the elections and demonstrate Ghana’s status as a beacon of peace and democratic engagement in Africa.

“Ghana has come too far to allow discord to take root. We are a nation that cherishes diversity and harmony. Let us prove once again that Ghanaians value unity over division and tolerance over prejudice,” he concluded.

As Ghanaians prepare to cast their votes, the President’s message serves as a timely reminder of the values that have cemented Ghana’s position as a leader in democratic stability and peaceful coexistence.
