Eid-Ul- Adha: Let's be peace advocates-Regional minister Mavis Ama Frimpong

Our correspondent , Kwamina Onumah in the Eastern Region reports that the Regional Minister, Mavis Ama Frimpong  joined Muslims to celebrate the Eidul Adah at the Koforidua Central Mosque at Srodai.

The Regional Chief Imam, Alhaji Yussif Amudani Sulemana,led the congregation in the Islamic prayers before giving a  word of exhortation advising the youth not  to allow themselves to be used by the politicians to cause mayhem in the country.

He also implored religious bodies to abstain from partisan politics to enhance peace and unity in Ghana.

Addressing the congregation, the Regional Minister Mrs. Frimpong noted that Allah does not like human blood that is why he provided a ram to be used by Prophet Ibrahim for the sacrifice instead of his son Ismael. 

She therefore advised Ghanaians to learn from the example and help conduct this year's election without spilling blood.

MadamFrimpong called on Ghanaians to trace the track record of President John Dramani Mahama in terms of development projects and give him another chance to continue with the good plans he has for Ghana.

A ram was slaughtered to symbolise the sacrifice made by Prophet Ibrahim.
