The National Chief Imam, Sheikh Dr. Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, has admonished Ghanaians to refrain from making him a subject of socio-political discussion, while he worships his Lord in the Holy Land of Mecca.
“I am here for worship not for comfort. Any allegation of maltreatment meted out to me is false”, said the Grand Imam.
Speaking in an interview in response to an allegations of maltreatment in Mecca, he revealed he is rather satisfied with the courtesy accorded him by the Pilgrimage Affairs Office of Ghana (PAOG) and the Ghana Mission in Saudi Arabia.
“Whatever seeming difficulty I have encountered is part of the conventions of Hajj which is not luxury but worship”, emphasizes the National Chief Imam.
Substantiating, Shaikh Sharubutu states that in terms of feeding, accommodation and transportation, he has been well treated at all relevant places of Hajj: Mecca, Mina, Arafah, and Muzdalifa.
In Mecca, the Chief Imam lodges at Al – Safwa Towers, one of the best hotels on the compound of Mecca Haram Mosque that houses the Holy Kabah.

I saw the video on facebook and the chief imam was in a taxi cab all alone without any protocol that bought him to a meeting place and ghanaians muslims resident in saudia took the shots with their phones
Bello do unto others what you expect from them. You think you can get away with denigrading Rev. Martey and yet expect your chief Imam to bhe untouchable Be wise.
I want to warn the NPP members and their supporter both the journalists and other professions that Chief Imam in Islam in not , I repeat is not somebody anyone can use as a political tool to propagate their agenda . They should not try to involved The Chief Imam and other Muslim Clerics in their dirty politics . Chief Imam is not Prof. Rev. Mantey of Presby who they can manipulate to tell lies against another person or political party to their benefit. The work of Hajj is not a comfort work . So should not try to make any political gain out of it through their sponsored newspapers.
