Dr. Bawumia made the comment when he joined Muslims at the Abossey Okai Central Mosque on March 1st to offer prayers and thanksgiving to Allah for his goodness to Ghana in her 62 years of independence.
During his visit to the Mosque, he said “at the Jummah prayers, I posited that, as Ghanaians, we are one people despite our cultural differences and must live in harmony.”
According to him, “Ghana is a place where everybody feels a sense of belonging. Let us continue to co-exist and help President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration to develop our country.”
Dr. Bawumia was at the Mosque with the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Sharubutu, and other senior Muslim clerics.
