Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President of the Republic of Ghana and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has on Saturday October 5, 2024, joined the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu and fellow Muslims at the Special Guest of Honour for the 2024 National Maulid in Accra.
Addressing the thousands of Muslims on the occasion to mark the birth of the Prophet Muhammed, he noted that, “a special night like this should be a perfect time to reflect on the teachings and values of the Prophet, to continuously guide us in our own lives and relationship with Allah and our community. As always, we are privileged to have in our midst outstanding scholars, who will take us through many life lessons of the Prophet.”
“As our nation goes to the polls in December to elect a new President, some important values of the Prophet we should all uphold are his remarkable traits of being extremely peaceful, harmonious and tolerant, in order to preserve the peace and tranquility Allah has blessed our country with”, Dr. Bawumia further added.
He added that, “Indeed, peace is a fundamental principle in Islam, and upholding and promoting our peaceful and harmonious existence as a people, regardless of ethnic, religious, or political backgrounds, is the responsibility of all of us”.
