Dr. Bawumia hosted the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu and the Muslim Community, at the Jubilee House, Accra, last night, for the 7th edition of the Annual National Iftar at the Jubilee House this evening.
They were also joined by Rt. Rev. Dr. Daniel Sylvanus Mensah Torto, Bishop of the Accra Diocese of the Anglican Church, the Chief of Staff Akosua Frema-Osei Opare, Members of the Council of State, Ministers of State, MPs and Members of the Diplomatic Corps.
Since its historic institution in 2017 by the NPP 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.
At the ceremony, Muslims were admonished to continue to uphold the virtues of Ramadan such as love, generosity, gratitude and forgiveness, beyond the holy month of Ramadan.
Prayers were said for the people of Ghana, as well as for the continuous peace and prosperity of our dear nation.
Dr. Bawumia has shown a great example of religious tolerance and inclusivity. May this spirit of togetherness and harmony continue to flourish in Ghana. This is unity in diversity. We may belong to different religion or faith but respect, tolerance, peace is what we need and the Dr. Bawumia epitomizes that.
