He noted that, “Since its historic institution in 2017 by our Government, the Annual National Iftar at the Jubilee House, has become a platform where not only do leadership and members of the Muslim Community in Ghana, including the Diplomatic Corps, congregate to observe one of the most important elements of Ramadan, Iftar, it has also become a shared platform, where our Christian brothers and sisters, including the Clergy, join our Imams and the Muslim Community, to participate in the Iftar.”

Dr. Bawumia further added, “… Muslims were admonished to continue to uphold the virtues of Ramadan such as love, generosity, gratitude and forgiveness, beyond the holy month of Ramadan.”

They were also joined by Rt. Rev. Daniel Sylvanus Mensah Torto, Bishop of the Accra Diocese of the Anglican Church, Akosua Frema-Osei Opare, the Chief of Staff, Members of the Council of State, Ministers of State, Members of Parliament and Members of the Diplomatic Corps.
