His Spiritual Holiness Sheikh Alhaji Abdulai Maikano Jalloo (Khalifatul-Akbar), the Spiritual Leader and President of the Tijania Muslim Council, has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government for spearheading developmental projects within Prang [the spiritual home of the Tajania Muslim Council] and its environs.

He described the NPP as a development-conscious party, which is deserving of the support of all Ghanaians.

Khalifatul-Akbar made these remarks on Friday, September 13, 2024, during a courtesy call on him by Hon. Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Vice Presidential Candidate of the governing NPP and his entourage, in Prang, the capital of the Pru West Constituency of the Bono East Region, as part of their constituency-focused campaign tours.

According to the Spiritual Leader, “The real essence of politics is to bring about development and make life easy for people. Unfortunately, despite the spiritual significance of Prang and its socioeconomic potential, the town was virtually neglected by all previous governments until the reign of President Akufo-Addo and Bawumia. All the developments you see in Prang were championed by the NPP, most of which was done through the current MP and immediate past DCE for this area, Hon. Stephen Jalulah. Prang is forever grateful to the NPP and will always support you”.

He also eulogized the leader and Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, whom he described as not only their son but also, a source of pride for the Muslim Ummah and Ghanaians in general.

The spiritual leader proceeded to say special prayers for Dr Bawumia and Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh.

On his part, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh thanked Khalifa for his continuous prayers and support for the NPP.

He highlighted the historical role Muslims played in the formation of the UP tradition, particularly through the Muslim Association Party, one of the parties that came together to form the UP, present-day NPP.

He assured the Muslim community and Ghanaians in general that the next NPP government under H.E Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, will further deepen religious tolerance and harmony in the country.
