They believe involvement of the gods and divine deities would have spared Ghana the infiltration of COVID-19 in the first place.

It is also grievous they say, that of the three main religions known in Ghana, two of them have well-marked holidays and the traditional religion has none.

Describing themselves as custodians of the land, members of the traditional religion believe the onus falls on them to take charge and lead the country on so many grounds.

They intimate that being left out of the equation on having holidays is the main reason the country is grappling with several woes such as corruption, energy crisis and the recent pandemic, the Coronavirus.

An organization fronting believers of the Traditional religion and projecting the ideals of the African, the Afrikania Mission, are, however, of the view that a quick turnaround by government will salvage the situation seeing that they have done their part to minimize the catastrophic effect of the Coronavirus.

Taking their turn on the GhanaWeb’s #SayItLoud, National Youth Chair of the Mission, Fafafe Agbodzi-Sewornu who represented the group proposed that a special day known as the National Libation Day should be adopted to be observed across the nation as reverence and commemoration for all the ancestors who through their blood and toil won the country it’s freedom.
