President John Dramani Mahama has expressed his heartfelt condolences to the families of 15 members of the Obogu Savior Church of Ghana who lost their lives in a tragic accident on the Accra–Kumasi highway.
The President described the incident as heartbreaking and a painful reminder of the dangers on Ghana’s roads.
He said the country mourns with the bereaved families and stands in solidarity with the entire church community.
President Mahama noted that the tragedy reinforces the urgent need to improve road safety and expand major highways.
He added that this was one of the reasons the government was prioritizing dualization and rehabilitation projects under the Big Push infrastructure programme, which includes key roads across the country.
He added that the lives of citizens must be protected not only through enforcement of traffic laws but also through better road design, proper maintenance, and timely interventions.
The President assured the public that his administration remains committed to tackling the causes of frequent road crashes.
The accident, which claimed 15 lives, occurred earlier this week and involved members of the Savior Church who were reportedly travelling for a church event.
Emergency responders and police have since launched investigations into the cause of the crash.
A nine-member board for the New Times Corporation (NTC), publishers of The Ghanaian Times and The Spectator newspapers was sworn into office on Thursday with a call to strengthen the governance of the Corporation.![Dr. Binka (seated second from right) with Dr Okpoti [right] the board and Management of NTC photos Okai Elizabeth.](https://spectator.com.gh/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Dr.-Binka-seated-second-from-right-with-Dr-Okpoti-right-the-board-and-Management-of-NTC-photos-Okai-Elizabeth-1024x683.jpg)

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
