The New Patriotic Party (NPP), led by its National Chairman, Freddy Blay, on Wednesday, May 6, 2020, paid a courtesy call on His Eminence the National Chief Imam, Sheik Nuhu Sharubutu, where the party made a donation of some food items and an undisclosed amount of money.
The items donated by the NPP leadership, as part of the party’s support for the Muslim community in this period of the Ramadan fast, included several bags of rice, sugar, and cartons of milk, among others.
The National Chairman used the occasion, first of all, to thank Almighty Allah for bestowing on the leader of the Muslim community in Ghana, who recently turned 101, His enormous blessings, long life and grace, thereby making him an embodiment of wisdom and source of hope in the national life of this country and beyond.
Chairman Freddy Blay then requested from the Chief Imam to say special prayers for the NPP, as well as the Akufo-Addo government, and, indeed, for the rest of the nation and the world at large to, inter alia, overcome the existential threats posed by the deadly Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
On his part, the revered National Chief Imam gracefully obliged to the request, and said the special prayers. He also, through his official spokesperson, Sheik Arimiyawo, expressed gratitude to the NPP leadership for the donation, which, he said, had come at the right time due to pressure on the Office of the Chief Imam to fend for the have-nots in this period of the Ramadan fast.
He also intimated that the NPP had been very consistent in supporting the Muslim community during Ramadan and other religious occasions, whereupon he thanked the party executives and wished them well.
Other members of the NPP delegation were the General Secretary, John Boadu, the First Vice Chairperson, Madam Rita Asobayire, the National 3rd Vice Chairman, Omari Wadie, the National Organiser, Sammi Awuku, the National Youth Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, the National Women Organiser, Madam Kate Gyamfua, the National Nasara Organiser, Abdul Aziz Futah and his two deputies, a Nasara Founding Father, Alhaji Maiga, the Greater Accra Regional Nasara Coordinator, and a host of others.
