Hajia Zuweira Ibrahimah indicated that, she decided to celebrate the sallah with the vulnerable in her Constituency in order to give them the sense of belonging they deserved and to reduce the hardship on them as a result of the general hardship in the country.

She intimated that COVID-19 has come with its challenges in that many households have lost income because of the pandemic.

She associated strongly with some of her colleague parliamentary candidates who have undertaken similar interventions to alleviate the suffering of their constituents, noting, in particular, Hon Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu who has decided to pay the May 2020 salaries of all private school teachers in his constituency as well as the NDC Parliamentary candidate for the Awaso West Wuogon Constituency John Dumelo who alao provided data bundles to students at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).

“Such pragmatic leadership is what is needed at this critical time of COVID-19,” Hajia intimated.

In a short speech to present the food items, Hajia Marian Sinare said as a member of Hajia Zuwera’ s campaign team, she can attest to Hajia Zuwera’s leadership qualities and knows that together with all the good people of Salaga South Constituency, they will work hard to deliver victory to Hajia Zuweira and John Mahama on December 7th.

She said Hajia Zuwera will work hard to bring development and relief to the people of Salaga when she’s elected as the MP.

It would be recalled that, Hajia Zuwera Ibrahimah made an earlier donation of 210 bags of sugar on Tuesday 28 April, 2020 to support the Muslim Ummah during this year’s fasting.
