Dr. Bawumia urges religious harmony and kindness as he commissions mosque in Sorbelle

The Vice President and flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged the largely Muslim community of Sorbelle in the Sissala West District of the Upper West Region to continue living in harmony with Christians and other non-Muslims.

Dr. Bawumia funded and built a new mosque for the community, and the beautiful facility was commissioned on Saturday, bringing much excitement to the area.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Bawumia emphasized the importance of ongoing harmony between Muslims and Christians in the country.

"For us in this country, we are Christians and Muslims, and I don't discriminate because we are worshipping the same God," he said. "I help everybody. Let us continue to live in harmony with everyone: our brothers and sisters who are Christians, for the continuous peace and harmony of this country."

Regarding the mosque, Dr. Bawumia expressed joy over its successful construction and thanked God for making it possible.

"I am happy today because many people think that it is human beings who build mosques, but it is only Allah who builds mosques," Dr. Bawumia said. "When I made the promise to build the mosque, I prayed to Allah to make it possible, and Allah said it is possible. So I thank Almighty Allah for making it possible to build this mosque for you."

The NPP flagbearer also called for everyone to continue to be kind to each other, as it is an act of worshipping God.

The ecstatic community, led by its paramount chief, expressed immense gratitude to Dr. Bawumia for his kind gesture, which they said would bring them closer to God.

Dr. Bawumia and community members observed prayers in the mosque following its official commissioning.
