Sheikh Hassan Hassan, Chief Imam of the Madina Central Mosque, has described the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving as a needless exercise.

The Islamic cleric argued that the initiative is insignificant, especially when citizens lack patriotism and discipline.

He stated that Ghana has a large religious population, Christians forming the majority, followed by Muslims and other religious sects.

Despite this, he noted, corruption, indiscipline, immorality, criminality, and deception remain rampant in the country.
