The Vice President and Flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia has been urged to continue his unifying interactions with the Christian community in the country.

Addressing Dr. Bawumia during a courtesy call at his residence over the weekend to congratulate him for his election as flagbearer of the NPP, the Council of Regional Imams said recent attacks on the person of Dr. Bawumia by NDC MP for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, over the Vice President's constant engagements with the Christian community are unfounded.

Sam George questioned the Islamic faith of Dr. Bawumia for his regular interaction with Christians and described the Vice President as a "religious prostitute" - comments which have been widely condemned.

Spokesperson of the Imams said the Vice President has done no wrong Islamically by his regular interactions with the Christian community to building religious harmony in the country.

"Your tolerance and respect for religious diversity is commendable. You are doing the right thing by maintaining a very strong relationship with the Christian community as a leader to strengthen harmony. We are one people," the Imams said.
