Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has charged his political opponents not to recourse to conflict and mayhem in the pursuit for power.
Speaking at the 13th Annual Night of Power in the holy month of Ramadan at Parliament on Tuesday, Dr Bawumia prompted the political elite to usher in measures that will protect and maintain the peace of the country before and after the elections.
“Allah has told us in Qur’an chapter 3 verse 26 that ‘Sovereignty and power belongs to Allah. He gives sovereignty and power to whom He wills. The Christian faith similarly shares the same view. So it is important for all of us to go about the electoral process peacefully, knowing that we cause confusion and mayhem in vain because God’s will will always prevail.”
But Dr Bawumia was resolute, stating that nothing of that sort will happen and he further urged the political elites to practice tolerance during the election and it’s aftermath
“No single life should be lost because of the elections. No property should be destroyed and no relationship should be ruined because of differences in our political views”. he added.
