The Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah has emphasised Ghana's identity as a multi-faith state, urging citizens to respect each other's beliefs while focusing on their own religious practices.
His comments come in response to recent criticisms aimed at Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for engaging with traditional priests, which some perceived as inappropriate.
In a post on Facebook on Tuesday, October 1, Mr Nkansah argued that Ghana is home to a diverse array of faiths, including Christianity, Islam, and various traditional beliefs.
He noted that this diversity is a hallmark of the nation's cultural richness and should be celebrated rather than criticized.
According to Mr Nkansah, individuals should prioritize their own spiritual journeys while allowing others the freedom to practice their beliefs without judgment.
Mr Nkansah also pointed out that many Ghanaians participate in multiple religious practices, often blending traditional customs with mainstream religions.
He stressed that such interactions are a part of the country's social dynamics and contribute to national unity.
Mr Nkansah called on the public to cultivate an atmosphere of tolerance, encouraging dialogue and cooperation among different faith groups.
He reaffirmed that respecting each other's religious practices is essential for maintaining peace and harmony in the country, and urged citizens to focus on their personal faith while allowing others the same liberty.
"Ghana is a multifaith State. Whoever wants to serve us as President must have respect for all the major religions. Interacting with Traditional Priests on campaign tours doesn't make anyone evil."
"Focus on your Religion and leave others to do theirs," he posted.
