Mahama warns against threats to Ghana’s religious tolerance

President John Dramani Mahama has cautioned religious leaders against comments and actions that could undermine Ghana’s long-standing tradition of religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence. Speaking at the opening of the 32nd Biennial General Council Meeting of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, Mahama described recent tensions involving a pastor and an imam as unfortunate and emphasized that such incidents must not create divisions between different religious groups.

He stressed that religious conviction must never become religious provocation and urged religious leaders to exercise restraint and responsibility, particularly in their public statements and on social media.
