Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo has urged the Muslim community to pray for Allah to choose a competent and committed Ghanaian as President in the November polls.
Nana Addo made the call in a statement to wish Muslims commemorating the climax of their month long fasting and prayers today known as Eid ul-Fitr.

Pray for Allah to choose for Ghana, in this election year, a leadership of commitment, competence, and compassion,” Nana Addo added in a statement.
He also urged Muslims to desist from social vices.
“Eid ul-Fitr is a celebration of one month of devotion and obedience to the will of Allah. Over the course of the month, Muslims have cultivated and inculcated the spirit of good, and strived to defeat the spirit of vice. I pray that these values continue to permeate every area of our national life, so we can defeat the ills that plague our society,” he added.
Eid-ul Fitr
Muslims celebrate Eid ul-Fitr, also called Feast of Breaking the Fast, an important religious holiday.
Eid is a day during which Muslims are not permitted to fast since it celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan.
