Alhaji Omar Bodinga, Eastern Regional first vice- chairman of the New Patriotic Party, (NPP) has
appealed to Muslims to let the tenets of Eid-ul-Adha unite them.
He said Muslims throughout the country should see
themselves as one people with a common destiny as they celebrate the festival which signifies sacrifice and purification in order to forgive each other's mistake and wrong doings.
Alhaji Bodinga said if Muslims see themselves as
brothers and sisters from one family with a common destiny all conflicts within their communities throughout the country would come to a halt.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an
interview in Koforidua, on Tuesday, he said the contributions of Muslims to the development of Ghana over the years could not be over-emphasized.
Alhaji Bodinga urged Ghanaians to discard the notion that Muslims are violent people and rather see them as their brothers and sisters.
He also called on Muslim youth not to allow themselves to be used by any individual, group of people or political party to cause confusion between now and the next election.
Alhaji Bodinga said as they celebrate the important festival on the Muslims calendar, peace and unity should be their hallmark.
