President John Dramani Mahama has called on Ghanaians to extend kindness and support to the vulnerable in society as Muslims celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr.
Speaking at the Eid-ul-Fitr celebration organised by the National Chief Imam at the Black Star Square in Accra, he emphasised the need for compassion and unity, particularly towards the less fortunate.
The President reminded the gathering that Eid-ul-Fitr is not only a time of joy and thanksgiving but also an opportunity to demonstrate generosity.
He urged Muslims and all Ghanaians to remember those struggling with poverty, illness, and other hardships, encouraging them to share their blessings with those in need.
"As we mark the end of Ramadan, let us not forget the vulnerable in our communities. This is a time for reflection, kindness, and support. We must look out for those who are struggling and extend a helping hand," President Mahama stated.
He further called on religious and community leaders to lead by example in fostering a culture of care and social responsibility.
"The true essence of this celebration lies in our ability to uplift one another. Let us use this occasion to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and ensure that no one is left behind," he added.
