Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson has emphasized that transforming Ghana is a collective responsibility that cannot rest solely on the shoulders of President John Dramani Mahama. Speaking at the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving in Accra on July 1, 2025, the Cardinal urged Ghanaians to embrace both spiritual values and civic virtues in pursuit of lasting national progress.
Cardinal Turkson challenged the public to take personal responsibility for shaping Ghana’s future, noting that faith in God must reflect a clear moral vision for the country. He warned that without a deep commitment to ethical living, Ghana risks being overtaken by greed, which would have widespread consequences.
The Cardinal emphasized the need for Ghanaians to develop virtues and live by them, stressing that a collective vision for the country’s future must be accompanied by individual actions that promote the common good.
