MP donates hundred bags of Sugar to Muslims in Yendi

Alhaji Farouk Aliu Mahama, Member of Parliament for Yendi Constituency, as the holy month of Ramadan kickstarts, has made a donation of 1000 bags of sugar and assorted items to the Muslim community in Yendi to support them carry out their month-long Ramadan fasting.

The donation made is to cover Islamic clerics, major Mosques, women and youth groups, opinion leaders and chiefs, party faithfuls, political figures, elders, and the less privileged in and around Yendi.

The donation is in his bid to support needy Muslims undergoing spiritual cleansing during the period, considered one of the pillars of the Islamic calendar. This year's Ramadan comes at a time our country's economy is under immense weight after the peak period of the Coronavirus pandemic and the current geopolitical crisis in the East. Alhaji Farouk, therefore, urges all Muslims to endeavor to cease this holy period to pray for the government of President Akufo-Addo to steer the ship of state out of these high tides of economic challenges. 

He urges all Muslims to share the little they have with the less privileged. Over the years, he has supported Muslim brothers during the holy month of Ramadan and would continue to assist to maintain a good relationship and wishes the Muslim world a fruitful fasting period.

Hon. Farouk Aliu Mahama also urges Muslims in Yendi to continue to pray for sustained peace and tranquility in the constituency and Dagbon.
