Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, former first lady of Ghana
A former First Lady of Ghana, Nana Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings, has called on Ghanaians to put aside political and social divisions as the nation prepares to observe the upcoming National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving on July 1, 2025.
In a video shared by Citi Newsroom on X on June 24, 2025, the former First Lady emphasised the importance of national unity and collective reflection, stressing that Ghana’s progress depends on togetherness.
“Even though I won’t be able to attend because I’ll be away at Harvard for an appointment I’ve long been working on, I believe this initiative is very important. It’s not only for the betterment of children born today, but for generations yet unborn,” she said.
She praised the organsers for the initiative and noted the symbolic value of coming together in prayer for the country’s future.
“If we’re going to leave this country in a good state for our children, grandchildren, and generations to come, there has to be some togetherness. It doesn’t matter where we stand politically or otherwise, we all have one destination,” she indicated.
The former First Lady pledged her full support for the initiative despite her inability to be physically present and encouraged Ghanaians from all walks of life to participate in the national observance.
