Accra (Greater Accra) 31 March '99

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Wednesday urged Christians to let the Day of Resurrection continue to be a reminder of their responsibility to the world to promote peace and goodwill. In a message to mark Easter the NPP said it hoped that the sacrifice of Jesus would remind Ghanaian Christians about the sacrifices that have to be made in order to reconcile the country. It said "as a party with close affinity to the major religious groups, the NPP is very happy to extend its felicitations to the Christian world on the occasion of Easter." GRi
