The presidential candidate of New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has paid a courtesy call on the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, ahead of the December 7 elections.
As part of his campaign tour of the Okaikoi Central Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Nana Akufo-Addo eulogized the respected National Chief Imam for his dedication to and love for Ghana.
He entreated all Ghanaians to emulate Sheikh Sharubutu and help keep the peace and unity of the country as the nation moves towards the general election.
Nana Akufo-Addo explained to the National Chief Imam that the country faces a bleak future with President Mahama’s continued stay in office with some 38 days to year’s elections.
“Change is needed in Ghana. We need a government whose sole purpose is to come and do a job for Ghanaians, so they can get jobs, wealth and prosperity. There is too much suffering in the land. No one has money. We cannot continue like this,” he said.
According to him, “we need a government that will come into office, and implement policies and programmes that will return this country onto the path of progress and prosperity.”
Nana Akufo-Addo also asked for support and prayers for the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for Okaikoi Central, Patrick Boamah, stressing that “these are the people, who, when in office, can ensure that Okaikoi Central moves forward.”

On his part, the National Chief Imam thanked Nana Akufo-Addo for the courtesy call.
He promised to continuously pray for the peace and stability of the nation, as well as for all the political leaders contesting in this year’s elections.
“We as Muslims, and other religious denominations, are all living in peace and harmony in this country. There is no conflict or dispute (amongst us). Other neighbouring countries are still suffering some misfortune and other forms of violence. We will pray to Allah to deepen the peace we are enjoying in Ghana.
“It is Allah who grants dominion, power and authority, and He also takes it away from people. Whoever gets it, we will submit to the person. All we pray for is that Allah continues to make Ghana peaceful,” Sheikh Sharubutu said.
