President Goodluck Jonathan reportedly also offered to constitute an evaluation team while Ghana gave its support to these efforts.<br \/>\nThe National Chief Imam, Sheik Nuhu Sharabutu prayed for a peaceful resolution of the crises in Cote d\u2019Ivoire following a request by President Rawlings.<br \/>\nEx President Rawlings&#8217; position is not different from that of Ghana\u2019s incumbent President, John Atta Mills, who has openly condemned the use of military force in Ivory Coast. The ceremony which was held at the premises of the Kanda National Mosque Project was also used to launch an appeal for funds to help complete the project which was started in 1995 following the allocation of land by the then President Rawlings government.<br \/>\nSource: jjrawlings.wordpress.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings, former President of Ghana with his successor says a peaceful solution must be found to prevent the threat of a costly conflict in Cote d\u2019Ivoire.
