Pray For Ghana — Tarkwa-Nsuaem MP To Muslim Celebrants

The Member of Parliament for Tarkwa-Nsuaem Constituency in the Western, George Mireku-Duker has urged all Muslims to use the occasion of Eid-Ul-Adha to pray for the peace of mother Ghana.

Sunday, 11 August marked Eid-Ul-Adha, an Islamic festiival also known as the "Festival of Sacrifice".

The holiday is the first of four days where Muslims sacrifice meaningful things to Allah, typically sheep, cows, chickens and goats, cook and share with family, friends and the poor.

In a goodwill message, issued by the office of the MP, it said the MP "is pleased to wish all Muslims in his constituency, Ghana and across the world a happy and a merry Eid-Ul-Adha which marks an imperative milestone on the Islamic Calendar".

The statement has also urged them to be measured in their celebration. "The Hon. MP is urging all Muslims to reflect on their sacrifices to Allah and humanity during this season".

The statement has, however appealed to all Muslims to pray for this country and President Akufo-Addo and his Vice President for continual knowledge to develop Ghana..
