Akufo-Addo "urinates" on Mosque

Mon, 5 Dec 2011 Source: Dailypost

NPP flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo on Wednesday,

November 30, 2011, continued his display of contempt for Islam and Muslims when

he committed the mother of all sacrileges by urinating on a mosque!

This sacrilege took place at Damongo during his

so-called listening tour on his way to Tamale from Wa.

Eye witnesses told this paper that while passing

through Damongo in a convoy, he was stopped by a party stalwart, Mwaza Sayeed,

popularly called Zegede, who is a tutor at Damongo Secondary school. Zegede is

reported to have told the NPP flagbearer that it will be politically unwise for

him to drive through Damongo without paying a courtesy call on the Yagbonwura,

Tutumba Dorenasah.

The NPP flagebarer therefore drove with his convoy

to the Yagbonwura’s palace and while waiting for the chief to come out of his

room, complained of having a full bladder. Unfortunately, he was told he could

not urinate at the palace because the place was a traditional place and the

customs do not permit him to attend nature’s call there on such a whistle-stop

visit.

The NPP flagbearer, after a moment’s hesitation, is

said to have walked out of the palace to a mosque nearby, unzipped his trousers

and while facing the walls of the mosque, proceeded to urinate against it,

spraying his urine on this holy place of worship.

Many of those who were present were reported to have

been livid, shocked to the marrow of their bone that the NPP flagbearer could so

desecrate an Islamic holy place of worship.

An argument immediately ensued among those gathered

there with some of his supporters opining that he acted out of the pressure to

relieve himself since his bladder was full.

Others, however, thought that his action was

unpardonable, especially coming a couple of months after he showed contempt for

Islam and Muslims by choosing Id-Ul-Adha, an Islamic holiday to release his

policy statement.

Arguments continued to rage on even as the NPP

flagbearer met the Yagbonwura afterwards but the reception from others around from

thereon was cold as they grind their teeth in anger at his continuous show of

disrespect

for Muslims and Islam.
