SHEIKH Dr. Alhaji Nuhu Sharabutu,
the National Chief Imam, recently paid a courtesy call on the Okyenhene,
Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin, at the Ofori Panin Fie, Kyebi.
The visit marked the first time the
National Chief Imam’s feet touched the soil of Kyebi in the Eastern Region.
The National Chief Imam, who was
accompanied by eminent chiefs and imams, was accorded a nice reception at
Kyebi.
Alhaji Baba Issah, the Chief Imam’s
spokesman, noted that the National Chief Imam was at Kyebi to congratulate the Okyenhene
on aiding to resolve national issues.
Sheikh Nuhu Sharabutu offered
special Islamic prayers for the Okyenhene and President Akufo-Addo.
Okyenhene address
Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin thanked
the Chief Imam for his visit and also thanked the Almighty God for being good
to them.
The Okyenhene emphatically stated
that the fact that “we speak different languages and come from different tribes
does not make us enemies but good neighbours.”
He advised the Muslims not to let political
affiliations divide them.
