Why Muslims Must Vote For The Mills-Mahama

WHY MUSLIMS MUST VOTE FOR THE
MILLS-MAHAMA ADMINISTRATION COME 2012 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

There have been numerous concerns as to whether the 2012
general elections would be issue-based or personality-based.
We members of theIslamic Call for Development (ICD), are of the view that the latter
of the
issues would be less concentrated upon as the former (i.e.: the issue-based)
would be the case if voters would want the best for Ghana, and thus urge voters
to be circumspect in examining the various aspirants before voting them into
office.

A cursory study by our outfit on the issue of the Hajj
(Pilgrimage to Mecca) by we Muslims in Ghana, over the years indicates that
since when the NDC-Atta Mills led administration assumed power in the year
2009, Hajj in Ghana has been seeing tremendous improvement and remarkable
facelifts as a result of the passionate concentration and interventions put in
place the Mills-Mahama administration.
Their contributions are highly commended, and may almighty
Allah bless their efforts in making Ghana better.
Undoubtedly, we can state without any sort of trepidation
that Ghana is indeed getting better than it used to be, following the
intervention of the government since its assumption of office in the year 2009,
an effort that has made Hajj in Ghana better than it used to be, some years
before 2009.
Different people have different ways of interrogating the
Better Ghana Agenda; some do that base on the infrastructural development that
had come their way(for example: clinics, school buildings, good drinking water
etc. etc) whiles workers consider their salaries and conditions of services.
In Islamic way of politicking, we consider the kind of conditions,
benefits and opportunities that inure to the benefit of the religion (Islam)
and the community within which we live, but not our personal gains.
We are therefore calling on this year’s pilgrims (Alhajs and
Alhajias) not to forget of Ghana and the Mills-Mahama administration in their
prayers at the Sacred house (KA’ABAH). They should also pray for an everlasting
peace in Ghana, as we are just about getting into the 2012 general
electioneering era.

The Islamic Call for Development (ICD) is with highest sense
of passion, calling on each and every Ghanaian Muslim voter, to vote the
Mills-Mahama ticket come 2012 general election, following their interventions
in recording a better and successful Hajj.
Finally, we are glad with the President's stand on the
immoral, infidel and un-Godly threat by the British Prime Minister, David
Cameron in relation to homosexuality and the development of Ghana.
We support him in that pursuit,stand by him and wish him well as well as the good
people of Ghana, for Allah is
enough for Ghana and not an individual or state.
God bless Ghana.
God bless the Hajj Committee of
Ghana.
