Ghana's former High Commissioner to India, Sam Pee Yalley says Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia cannot ‘turn the Flagstaff House into a mosque’.
According to him, since the New Patriotic Party (NPP) were accusing late President John Evans Atta Mills of turning the Presidency into a ‘church’, Dr Bawumia being a Muslim, cannot turn it into a mosque.
“You remember when Professor Mills was praying in the castle; there was all these hullabaloo that he was turning the castle into a church. Now; I am not against Muslim religion; what is Bawumia doing?. Every evening, people have to go and break their fast; if I was Bawumia, I will not do a thing like that; I would rather go to the poor areas of Fadama, Zongo to go and break my fast with the people there. We should stop all these façade. If you say somebody was turning the castle into a church, you cannot also turn the flagstaff house into a mosque. This religious bigotry should stop,” he said during a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, Saturday.
Last Wednesday some Muslim dignitaries joined the Vice President Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia to break the ongoing Ramadan fast at the Flagstaff House.
Also Vice President Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia Thursday morning invited Muslims to dine with him at the forecourt of the Flagstaff House.
The Iftar at the forecourt of the seat of government was attended by other Muslim dignitaries including Sheikhs and Imams.
It was led by National Chief Imam Sheikh Nuhu Shaributu.

I guess Dr. Bamumia is passionate about his Muslim religion. He is simply enticing more Ghanaians to where and what he worships, I guess. This is a free liberal market economy. interdependence in business pursuits! This is a democracy at work.
Why is Barwumia Mahamadu inviting these Boko Haram , Al Shabab , Hezbolla people to the Flagstaff House. He wants to turn the place into a terrorist camp. God save us.
WHY THE FORFREONT OF THE FLAGSTAFF HOUSE. THIS SHOULD HAPPEN IN YOUR PRIVATE OFFICE. THESE MUSLIMS RADICALISM STARTS LIKE THIS OO, THE NEXT THING YOU SEE WILL BE A FULL TENT ERECTED FOR THE PURPOSES OF PRAYING RIGHT INFRONT OF THE FLAG STAFF HOUSE. THIS ***barred word*** OF SO CALLED MUHAMED WHO HIMSELF IS A ***barred word***, MURDERER AND ALL MUST STOP.
well, i think it would have been very blissful if Bawumia would have join the poor to break the fast. all those invited guest can afford next time pls bring it to the mosque the prayers will still reach the flagstaff house.this month is a special month and anything u want to offer its best to send to the needy n u will receive more blessings than giving it to those who already have
Ghanaians and their stup*d attitude...so u guys never change...with all your so called education...you simply cant offer any good suggestions for national development...Today NPP - NDC, tommorow Islam and Christianity....YOU are all educated wastepipes
Its a strategy to cause religious fight a and insecurity. Why it's a weapon, because you can find Muslim brothers in all the political parties, so for one to speak or say something against a religious group, before one know, it will send a wrong signal to fight one another even in the same party,families, office etc. Religion is central in any man's heart. Give to God what is to God and to Caesar what is Caesar's,
We need prayers. Vice Pee please pray for us. First of all in the Flagstaff House.

The President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta who is not a Muslim invited muslims to the seat of government for iftar in Kenya. How about that? It is actually true that the NDC people don't read. AND NOW, THEY DON'T LISTEN.
What is all these Ghana? Where is this West African nation heading to? Akufo Addo has allowed these gangsters to take over the reigns of government. These guys have nothing to offer. What benefits does the country get from the display of all these prayers etc. These guys don't even respect christians and Ghana as a predominantly christian nation is allowing this to happen. Where are all the so called pastors and prophets? What are they doing about this? cowards die many times before their death. By the time we realize, the country would be heading to fulaniland and every one would be under sharia law.
