President Akufo-Addo has sent out well wishes to Muslims across the
country who are today May 24, celebrating Eid ul-Fitr under the
coronavirus restriction.
This year’s Eid al-Fitr has become a more somber celebration despite it
being one of the most important festivals on the Muslim calendar.
The president who noted the impact of the Coronavirus
crisis on this year’s festival acknowledged the sacrifices made by
Muslims in this period by forfeiting their usual congregating at the
mosque with respect for the ban on public gathering.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
was hopeful that things will get better by next year to allow for mass
prayers that have been banned across the country in an attempt to
prevent the spread of the virus.
“I am very hopeful that, next year, Muslims in the country will
congregate as they have done over the years, and celebrate Eid ul-Fitr
fullyand without any restriction. We will go back, in joy, to Black Star
Square,” President Akufo-Addo wrote.
