President Mahama Pays Courtesy Visit to National Chief Imam Ahead of Maulid Celebration
President John Dramani Mahama this morning paid a courtesy visit to the National Chief Imam ahead of tonight’s Maulid celebration, expressing his respect for the religious leader and the Muslim community.
The visit was primarily to inform the National Chief Imam that he would be unable to attend the Maulid celebration in person due to his scheduled departure for the United States, where he will participate in the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.
During the meeting, President Mahama conveyed his greetings and expressed his regret at not being able to join the Muslim faithful for the important religious observance. The President’s decision to personally visit the National Chief Imam demonstrates his commitment to maintaining strong relationships with Ghana’s religious leadership and his respect for the country’s diverse faith communities.
The Maulid, which commemorates the birth of Prophet Muhammad, is one of the significant celebrations in the Islamic calendar and draws thousands of faithful across the country.
President Mahama’s participation in the 80th UNGA represents Ghana’s continued engagement in international diplomacy and multilateral affairs. The UN General Assembly brings together world leaders to address global challenges and strengthen international cooperation.
The President’s courtesy visit to the National Chief Imam reflects the importance his administration places on interfaith dialogue and religious harmony in Ghana’s pluralistic society.
The Maulid celebration is expected to proceed as scheduled this evening, with the Muslim community gathering to mark this important religious occasion.
