Read message below
On the occasion of the Eid al-Adha festival of sacrifice, Nana and I join our Muslim brothers and sisters in praying for love, peace and happiness for all mankind.
The selfless sacrifice of Ibrahim that led to the annual celebration of Eid al-Adha should not be lost on us. Let the sacrifices of today, the sharing, gift-giving and prayers be our guiding principle every day.
We call on our Muslim brothers and sisters to also offer a word of prayer for honesty, tranquility and peace during the forthcoming elections in December.
May Allah answer our prayers and sacrifices and bless us with honesty, peace, success and happiness.
