Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, in his remarks, noted that donating a Camel to the National Chief Imam is an annual donation his company has been doing over the years.
“The Eid-Al-Adha celebrations are meant for unity because I receive more Christian brothers and sisters in my house than the Muslims. They come for us to make merry and forgive each other. As we are all aware that we are not in normal times in Ghana but we should put Allah first”.
Ambassador Alhaji Salamu added that both Muslims and Christians should use this season to embrace each other and preach peace.
