John Ansu Kumi, the Sunyani Municipal Chief Executive has stated the problems of the country could be surmounted through a united faith by all religions.
"We all know what is happening globally and Ghana is not an exception, so if we can overcome our problems as a country then we should build a strong faith and pray", he asserted and thus implored them to remember the country in prayers now.
Mr Kumi made the statement when he was addressing the Muslim community after joining them in prayers for the celebration of their annual Eid-Mubarak, the festival of sacrifice on Saturday at the Jubilee Park in Sunyani.
He said "our belief as a country over the years has sustained us from tragedies unlike what is being experienced by other countries", hence the need to prioritise the interest of the country by all segments of the society in support of government’s efforts in executing pragmatic policies and programmes for enhanced standard of living of the populace.
