President Kufuor appealed to Ghanaians to forgive one another and be reconciled with each other as a people regardless of their ethnicity, religion, regional and or political affiliations, as 2007, which is also the country''s Jubilee Year, is ushered in. He said the Government stood ready, in all humility and magnanimity, to lead the country in its forward march into bright and prosperous future that had been prepared for it.Source:
