and Dr. Bawumia
Scores of Muslims in the Ashanti Regional capital, Kumasi, have
assembled and prayed fervently to Allah to help the ruling New Patriotic Party
(NPP) to win this year’s elections to retain power.
Alhaji Ali Suraj, the ex-NPP USA Organizer, who is the main
architect of the spiritual exercise, stated that the NPP administration had
delivered and deserved another term. According to him, every sector of the
state has experienced massive transformation so far, which is a clear
indication that the NPP government deserves a second term.
He, therefore, told DAILY GUIDE that he personally
organized the Muslim prayers to help the NPP administration win the upcoming
polls. He said virtually all the top Muslim clerics, imams, sheikhs and other
staunch Muslims in Kumasi attended the maiden prayer exercise.
He disclosed that the programme, which took place at the Central
Mosque in Kumasi, saw Muslims who used close to five hours to pray for victory
for the NPP in 2020. “We prayed fervently for Allah’s guidance, blessings and
protection for President Akufo-Addo, Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and
other government officials,” he said.
Alhaji Ali Suraj noted that the spiritual exercise would be done
annually, adding that his main objective is to ensure Allah’s blessings for the
NPP government.
The Council of Zongo Chiefs led by Sultan Umar Farouk, Imam Abdul
Wadud Ciessey, Council of Ulama and Imams, led by Imam Abdul Mumin and others turned
