Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, Vice President of Ghana, has termed the hosting of an Iftar at the Flagstaff House as a gesture of inclusivity.
Iftar is the fast-breaking evening meal of Muslims during Ramadan at the time of adhan (call to prayer) of the Maghrib prayer.
In a post on her official ‘X’ account, Prof Naana Opoku-Agyemang stressed that the event formed part of the government’s promise to uphold an all-encompassing governance, which demonstrates an appreciation for all religions.
“This gathering reaffirmed our national commitment to harmony, unity, and inclusive governance. As we observe this period of prayer, sacrifice, and charity, may we continue to uphold the values of compassion, solidarity, and service to humanity,” the post dated March 27, 2025, read.
The event was graced by the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, whose wisdom and leadership continues to inspire peace and cohesion in the country, the post added.
A video which accompanied the post on ‘X’ captured high profile politicians and religious leaders, including President John Dramani Mahama, Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka, Sheikh Armiyawo Shaibu, among others.
