Veep, Chief Imam pray for Ghana

Vice-president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia yesterday
joined Muslim worshippers at the Abossey Okai
Central Mosque in Accra to offer prayers and
thanksgiving to Allah for his goodness to Ghana
for 62 years after independence.

Speaking at the prayers, Dr Bawumia said: "I thank
Almighty Allah for allowing Ghanaians to enjoy
peace, unity in our 62 years as an independent
country."

He urged Ghanaians to cherish the peace they were
enjoying and eschew actions that could negatively
impact on the nation's harmonious existence.

"We are one people despite our cultural
differences. Ghana is a place where everybody
feels a sense of belonging. Let us continue to
coexist to develop our homeland Ghana,” he
said.

Inclusive society

"President Akufo-Addo is building an inclusive
society. That is why we have introduced free
Senior High School (SHS), Planting for Food and
Jobs, Nation Builders Corps (NaBCo) so that every
citizen, regardless of where you come from, will
benefit from government's policies,"
Vice-President Bawumia said.

He said the establishment of the Zongo Development
Fund was an indication of how passionate President
Akufo-Addo was with regard to the development of
the Zongos.

Sermon

In his sermon, the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Dr
Osman Nuhu Sharabutu, commended the government for
its tremendous performance and pro-poor policies
introduced.

Sheikh Sharabutu asked all Muslims to pray for
President Akufo-Addo, Vice-President Bawumia and
other government appointees to enable them to
serve Ghana with dedication.

Alhaji Dr Bawumia was accompanied by Mr Abubakar
Saddique Boniface, Minister of State at the Office
