The MP said in 2019 an Iftar was organised but it could not be the possible last year 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He called for God’s blessing for former President John Dramani Mahama, the MP Alhaji Yussif Sulemanan and the Savannah Regional Chairman of the NDC Alhaji Moro for their efforts in supporting Islam.
