Ghanaian community in The Gambia has celebrated Ghana’s 63rd Independence Anniversary on
Friday with a colourful march past and thanksgiving celebration on Sunday under
the theme: Celebrating Peace and Unity.
Chairman
of the Ghanaian community in The Gambia, George Keleku, called on all Ghanaians
to come out and support the initiatives of the executive committee, saying they
only exist because of the Ghanaians in The Gambia.
Bishop
Eddie Botwe, shepherd of the Light House Chapel Church of Bakau, highlighted
that Ghanaians should be wise wherever they find themselves and not to follow
people who tend to divide others through politics and culture.
“God
has put those leaders there so we should give them the honour and respect they
deserve and support them. Voting them in and out of office is the most peaceful
way rather than holding protests and vandalising personal and public
properties.”
Rev
C.H Donkor of the Glory Baptist Church also issued prayers as part of the
celebration and the host nation for peace and development.
