Happy 100th birthday, Sheikh Nuhu Sharabutu.

I join in prayers to Allah to grant you many more years of good health and strength, to continue as a living testimony of love, peace, tolerance, forgiveness and human kindness.

You are, undoubtedly, one of the key reasons for the enviable peaceful co-existence enjoyed by all religions in Ghana and also among the various Muslim denominations.

From my days as a member of Parliament and Deputy Minister when my father, EA Mahama, said literally that he was handing me over to you as your son, and through my days as a Vice President and President, I have drank freely from your fountain of knowledge, and been guided by your patience, wisdom, thoughtfulness, leadership, empathy and forgiveness.

On this joyous occasion, Lordina and I extend to you our warmest greetings and wish you well.
