President Akufo-Addo has asked Ghanaians to make the sacrifices of restraining themselves during the Easter festivities and celebrate the holidays apart.
In a goodwill message to Christians all over the country, the President said the celebration should be a good opportunity for all to make a sacrifice for the sake of humanity’s survival.
“We are used to attending Easter Conventions, making-merry, visiting friends and family, and having a good time. Yes, like a lot of you, I was also looking forward to visiting Kwahu during this time of the year, which I have been doing for several years.
“However, I am urging all of us to do the exact opposite of what we have been used to for many years. Stay at home. I ask you to keep your distance from your parents, grandparents and extended family, and celebrate this holiday apart.” he noted.
Today, Friday, April, 10, 2020 is Good Friday, which essentially marks the start of Easter.
Christians, all over commemorate this day, to observe the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, which is the unique sacrifice that Jesus Christ, made for humanity on the cross of Calvary.

“So, on behalf of my beautiful Rebecca, my children, grandchildren and entire family, and members of Government, I wish you all a joyous and happy Easter, even if a restrained one. And, let me extend a special Easter goodwill message to our amazing health workers and to the members of our security agencies for their patriotic efforts.
“May God bless us all, and our homeland Ghana, and make her great and strong.”
