Ghana's Religious Diversity: Mahama pledges fairness, calls for peaceful coexistence among Ghanaians

President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to treating all Ghanaians fairly, regardless of their religious beliefs, calling for peaceful coexistence and mutual respect among people of different faiths.

The President described Ghana's religious diversity as a valuable national asset that must be protected. Drawing on his experience growing up in a multi-faith family, he urged Ghanaians to strengthen relationships across religious boundaries and promote unity.
