Eid Mubarak message from Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia.

I congratulate my Muslim brothers and sisters on the occasion of Eidul Fitir, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. This is indeed a great occasion to show gratitude to the Almighty Allah for taking us through a very successful period of fasting and to show kindness to our fellow human beings.

On this auspicious occasion, let us hold on to the virtues we have cultivated in this holy month of worship and sacrifice. The virtues of love, patience, empathy, sacrifice and building bridges with people of all faith, race and nationality.

Let us also pray for our beloved country Ghana; let us pray for peace, unity and prosperity. Let us rededicate ourselves to the service of the Almighty, to the service of humanity and to the service of our nation, Ghana. May the Almighty Allah be our guide and guard in everything wedo.

Eid Mubarak!
Barka da Sallah!
