In a commemorative message to the nation copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra, and signed by the National Chairman, Professor Edmund N. Delle, admonished all to seek God’s guidance in honesty and offer an unpretentious prayer of supplication during the festive period.

[contextly_sidebar id=”LVYMOlChxRIClHC44dgLE4LUOwqYykOm”]He also tasked religious leaders to offer good counselling to political leaders, adding that “you should guide and direct us. We are working together for mankind both spiritually and physically, support us with godly counsel.

“As a nation, we need to move away from practices that threaten to destroy our values of truth and integrity,” stressing that Christ endured suffering for mankind which was very significant during this period and challenged Christians to recognize it during this Easter season.

“Let us show love and friendship to our neighbours, our communities and the disadvantaged. Many of us have spent the last month in a period of fasting, prayer and sober reflection and on Easter Day we will feast and make merry in remembrance of the resurrection of Christ,” Prof Delle stated.

“The CPP extends a hand of warmth to Ghanaians and all peoples of the world as we celebrate a significant period on the Christian calendar.

“We enjoin all celebrants, especially the youth to celebrate in circumspection and moderation to prevent any unfortunate incidents,” he said.

The CPP also called on the motoring public to be extra careful on the road as they drive around,  and to “not rush for money. Lives are precious so drivers kindly take precautions on the road.

“Passengers must also not put pressure on the drives to speed-up, we must all work to eliminate the human tendencies that causes road accidents”.

The party in a press statement signed by its Chairman, Prof. Edmund Delle to mark the country’s 57^th Republic Day anniversary further commended Ghanaians for protecting the sovereignty of the country over the years.

[contextly_sidebar id=”3jZlGehhGmWvRILl52JojoB471LCn5kD”]“The CPP congratulates the Nation of Ghana for protecting its sovereignty over the past 57 years and still counting. We must continue to work together to protect the State and fight against injustice, corruption and political victimization. Ghana must work again,” the statement added.

Ghana attained a republican status some 57 years ago which marked an event of profound historical and political significance.

The feat implied that Ghana had the freedom to draw its own constitution and elect a president, who, with the cabinet, could initiate programmes for the well-being of the people.

Since then, the country has been managed by both civilians and military rulers.

The CPP which Ghana’s first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah formed, in the statement noted that “Ghana’s victory in attaining full republican status went along with claiming the full sovereignty over all aspects of ournational and international life.”

“Ghana on July 1, 1960 totally weaned itself from British colonial rule, as the Queen of England’s Governor General left the shores of the country to signify that the Black Star of Arica had taken charge of its own affairs…The CPP recounted that after becoming the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence on March 6, 1957, Ghana’s political freedom inspired the liberation of many other African countries from colonial governance,” the statement added.
