Easter: Patrick Boamah calls for peace & unity among Christians, donates 1,000 packs of bottled water to Christian Council

The Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, Hon. Patrick Yaw Boamah, has donated 1,000 packs of bottled water to the Christian Council of Ghana.

This is to support the Council during the Easter occasion.

The MP also donated cash to the Councilalong with a monetary contribution. He made the donations in Accra on Tuesday, April 15.

“So I decided to come and donate 1,000 boxes of water and a modest token to support the World Ecclesiastical System,” he said, expressing his dedication to promoting religious unity and celebration.

He further called for peace and unity among Christians as the nation prepares to observe the Easter festivities.

Mr. Boamah emphasised the significance of the season, urging Ghanaians to be reminded of the reason behind Easter.

“We must be mindful of the reason for the celebration and reenact the most significant event in the salvation history of God,” he remarked concerning the season marking what Christians view as the sacrificial death and momentous resurrection of Jesus Christ.

He further noted Easter was a time of renewal and reflection for Christians.

“It is a period when Christians also reflect on renewal following the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This renewal should characterise every aspect of our lives,” he added.

Receiving the donation, Rt. Rev. Dr. Hilliard Dogbe, Chairman of the Christian Council, praised the MP’s enduring support and unwavering faith.

“We’ve had the blessing of encountering you on several occasions, and your faith is unquestionable. Scripture tells us: ‘Blessed is the hand that gives and the hand that takes.’ Your act of kindness is deeply appreciated,” Dr. Dogbe said.

He offered heartfelt blessings to Hon. Patrick Boamah stating, “Water will never run dry in your land, food will never be scarce. May God’s grace and peace dwell with you, and may all your dreams be fulfilled.”

The Secretary for Programmes at The Salvation Army Ghana, Lt. Col. Justice Isaac Incoom, in his remarks hailed the donation as unprecedented.

He said, “This is historic. We often see similar support during Muslim fasts, but rarely during Christian observances. Hon. Boamah has set a remarkable example.”

He urged other leaders to follow suit, encouraging greater inclusion and support for Christian events.

“As you’ve started, we pray others will follow. Let ministers and MPs remember the Christian community too, so everyone feels truly embraced.”

The Christian Council lauded the OKC MP’s thoughtful gesture as a shining example of faith in action and leadership with heart.
