Ghana's former High Commissioner to India, Sam Pee Yalley says Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia cannot ‘turn the Flagstaff House into a mosque’.
According to him, since the New Patriotic Party (NPP) were accusing late President John Evans Atta Mills of turning the Presidency into a ‘church’, Dr Bawumia being a Muslim, cannot turn it into a mosque.
“You remember when Professor Mills was praying in the castle; there was all these hullabaloo that he was turning the castle into a church. Now; I am not against Muslim religion; what is Bawumia doing?. Every evening, people have to go and break their fast; if I was Bawumia, I will not do a thing like that; I would rather go to the poor areas of Fadama, Zongo to go and break my fast with the people there. We should stop all these façade. If you say somebody was turning the castle into a church, you cannot also turn the flagstaff house into a mosque. This religious bigotry should stop,” he said during a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, Saturday.
Last Wednesday some Muslim dignitaries joined the Vice President Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia to break the ongoing Ramadan fast at the Flagstaff House.
Also Vice President Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia Thursday morning invited Muslims to dine with him at the forecourt of the Flagstaff House.
The Iftar at the forecourt of the seat of government was attended by other Muslim dignitaries including Sheikhs and Imams.
It was led by National Chief Imam Sheikh Nuhu Shaributu.

Even though I'm sympathetic towards npp, its true, we can't allow flagstaff house to be turned into a mosque no offence to our Moslem brethren. Bawumiah can go and worship with his moslems in their mosque not the presidency. Pls paaa
Ndc finally showing their true colors!
THIS IS A WISEFUL ADVICE FROM SAM PEE, MR VICE PRESIDENT LISTERN AND OBEY. INDEED YOU CAN GO TO FADAMA, NIMA, TO THE POOR AND BREAK THE FAST WITH AND ALLAH WILL BLESS. DON'T WAIT TILL IT IS ELECTION, YOU WERE WITH US WHEN NOT IN POWER, DON'T BREAK THAT LINK, DR AND MRS BAWUMIA. GHANAIANS CHERISH SUCH MOMENTS.DON'T FORGET US
Kojo UK. Even in America, Obama invited the Muslims to the White house for the first time so what do you mean by government business not religion? Billy Graham and other Evangelists were visiting the White house at anytime until Obama brought the muslims also to the white house. Don't the Muslims also work for Ghana to develope? Don't they pay taxes and so don't they also deserve to be treated as anyone at the Flagstaff house especially when the Vice President is a Muslim? Do you expect him to go out to break his fast when he is working for the state? So what is wrong about it if he invite them to come to him to break the fast? Listen, Dr Bawumiah and Nana Addo treated them the same way in their homes when they were in opposition so I find nothing wrong if they are now at the flagstaff house and they invite them where they are, so is that the love the ndc have for the Muslim community? Love for only elections and to use them for their dirty works? Zongo deserve better, they deserve to be counted and feel at home. Ndc is not good for Ghana,ndc discrimination is beyond imagination, Fiifi Kwettey said no muslim will be president in Ghana but the next president after president Akufo Addo's 8 years is Dr Bawumiah a Muslim. Whether ndc like it or not it will come on live, this ndc utterances about muslims manifest to their plans that a muslim will never head the seat of government hence ndc do not select a Muslim as a running mate but are fashioning it a Christian from the north to make it 2 Christian 1 from the South and the other North. Muslims think about it. Ndc don't want you at the Flagstaff house.
Sam Wee Wee Yalley, Nana Addo also prays in the Flag Staff House. Why didn't you complain about that. Obviously this is sheer hatred of Islam by the NDC. Oh NDC why?
this cant be right. all in the name of politics we turn the flagstaff house into a mosque? just because of votes? NPP be careful.
The evil that men do leads after them. NDC any thing spiritual haunts them. Am not surprise, Rawlings overthrown Liman government and complained bitterly that he Liman had sprayed the Castle seats with Goro. Rev. Ministers citisize their governance and they insults them. Men of God are enemies to the NDC. Now look, their evil deeds are directed on the Moslems. Yet, they will say they rather love and like them. You can have your naughty saying about any one but if you say against Chief Imam, I will not spare you. That man has a heart of gold more than any member of the ndc. I am a Christian, but I know what the man, Sheik Osman Sharubuta is capable of doing. He is a real man of God. As for you ndc, you dont respect anyone on earth. Be very carefulooooo. They are there to destroy your e-v-i-l doings.
Ataa Mills can right..... HYPOCRITE
This is not about NDC or NPP. what you know you can not continue, you better don't start it. what if a different government comes and says no, they wouldn't allow that to continue. How do you think the people will react? Don't let's do it like we are favouring one religion and leaving the others.
WHATEVER MR. YALLEY
