John Dramani Mahama, former president and current flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has extended his warmest wishes to Muslims in Ghana and beyond celebrating Eid-ul-Adha, which falls on Sunday, June 16.

In his Eid Mubarak message delivered on Saturday, Mr. Mahama called on Muslims to exhibit compassion towards their families, the less fortunate, and orphans. He also conveyed his heartfelt regards to the esteemed Chief Imam, Sheik Osman Nuhu Sharubutu.

Mahama appealed to the Muslim community for their prayers and support as he prepares for the upcoming elections, asking for Allah’s guidance and blessings for a successful electoral year.

“Today is a joyous occasion. Eid Mubarak to you all. May Allah accept our supplications. May Allah see us through the coming year. May Allah grant us a long life. As I mentioned, today is a day for celebration, and we should remember to extend our care to the poor, orphans, and loved ones. May Allah accept our prayers.”

“May Allah fulfill all our heart’s desires. To those who have completed the Hajj, may Allah ensure their safe return. May Allah continue to bless our nation, Ghana, with peace. May Allah guide us through the forthcoming elections with success. On this occasion, I also seek your prayers that Allah will grant me victory,” he expressed.
