The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has commended Muslims in Ghana on the successful completion of fasting in the holy month of Ramadan.
A statement signed by the ruling party’s acting General Secretary, John Boadu, pointed out that “Eid-Ul-Fitr, otherwise known as ‘feast of the breaking of the fast,’ is an important festivity celebrated by Muslims all over the world to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan.”
According to the statement, “It’s characterised by merrymaking, alms-giving and the observance of Eid prayers to thank Almighty Allah for seeing Muslims through the holy month of Ramadan during which time they intensified their supplications and good deeds.”
“It’s hoped that they would be able to maintain this same lifestyle in the other 11 months of the year since the Allah they served in the month of Ramadan is the same Allah today and forever.”
“As much as Muslims have every reason to mark this day with feast and the making of merry, we call on them, especially the youth, to exercise significant moderation and circumspection in their celebrations so that at the end of the day, no injury or death would be recorded.
“This year’s Ramadan was incident-free, and we call on Muslims to use this important occasion to pray for the government of Ghana, under the distinguish leadership of His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, as well as His Excellency Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to continue to deliver on the mandate of the Ghanaian people.”
According to the statement, “We also call on them to commit the nation and, indeed, every single Ghanaian into the good hands of the Almighty Allah for His mercy and grace.”
“Once again, Eid Mubarak to our Muslim constituents here in Ghana and across the globe.”
