The Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama has promised Ghana’s Muslim community of a 2-day Eid-ul Fitr holiday.
In a campaign tour in Gambaga and Nalerigu in the Northeast Region on Wednesday, October 2, Mahama vowed saying, “We are going to add one more holiday to the Eid-ul Fitr holiday. After fasting, sometimes there is confusion. Some people pray on one day, and others pray on the other day because they didn’t see the moon, or they saw the moon”.
“So, we are adding one more day so that whether you break the fast today or you break the fast tomorrow, you get a holiday to rest and celebrate the Eid-ul Fitr.” He reiterated.
John Mahama also thanked the people of Gambaga and Nalerigu for the warm and brotherly welcome to the Northeast Region. He assured the people he will work tirelessly to reset the damaged country and ensure the improvement of the living conditions of all Ghanaians.
