Muslims will reward Mahama - Baba Jamal
The non-stop flight from the Tamale Airport to
Medina in Saudi Arabia on August 19 following the
upgrade of the airport to international standards
by President John Mahama will influence Muslims to
vote for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in
this year’s presidential elections, Baba Jamal
Konneh, Eastern Regional Communications Director
or the NDC has said.

His assertion dovetails into a similar comment Mr
Mahama made when addressing supporters of the NDC
at Kokompe near Takoradi last week as part of his
campaign in the Western Region that the “NDC and
the Zongo community have strong ties. And it
starts from the days of former President
Rawlings’ government. He realised there was
little recognition for the Muslim religious
calendar and introduced two holidays to
commemorate Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha.” He
added: “…For the first time in history, the
first batch of pilgrims will fly directly from
Tamale to Jeddah. I will be in Tamale to
commission that. It tells you about our commitment
to help the Zongo community and the wellbeing of
all Ghanaians.”

In a short statement released on Sunday, 21
August, Mr Konneh said: “Muslims in Ghana will
judge between the NDC and the NPP on 7 December as
to which political party thinks about their
welfare.

“You don’t need to be a Muslim to love Islam.
A Muslim who doesn't care about the welfare of his
fellow Muslims is an enemy to the religion.

“As a Muslim, I know the fears of the NPP. They
are not happy Muslims are being treated nicely by
the president and his government because even if
500 pilgrims decide to pray for the president
every morning, afternoon, evening and night, they
know Allah will obviously accept their prayers.
These are their fears but they have no choice
because the obvious will happen. John Mahama will
win this elections one touch, Insha Allah.”
