At the heart of Ghana’s first-ever National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving at the State House Forecourt on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams delivered a powerful message that cut across political, tribal, and religious lines — a call for unity under a single, binding national development agenda.
The General Overseer of Action Chapel International used the national platform to advocate for what he described as Ghana’s most urgent need: a shared vision for the future that all Ghanaians can rally behind, regardless of background or political belief.
“China, Dubai, India all have hundred-year visions,” he said. “Ghana, our motherland — where is our vision? Where is our agenda?”
According to the Archbishop, Ghana’s struggle is not just political or economic — it’s structural.
Without a clearly defined, long-term national roadmap enshrined in law, every new administration risks starting from scratch, wasting time, money, and potential.
“Under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, a national agenda and a developed plan should be established that compels all stakeholders — irrespective of your tribe, religion, background, and political party — to follow that agenda,” he said, urging a constitutional mandate for continuity and commitment.
The theme for the event, “Reset, Reflect, and Renew for National Prosperity,” echoed throughout the day, but the Archbishop’s message sharpened the meaning: Ghana must come together to design a future that outlives presidents, parties, and personalities.
While he acknowledged President Mahama’s leadership, Duncan-Williams’ tone was not partisan—it was deeply nationalistic and spiritual, aimed at reminding Ghanaians that no true progress can happen in isolation.
