Chief Imam blesses Ablakwa, Ghanaians say his 'presidential ambition’ is cemented

Some Ghanaians believe that Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa’s alleged presidential ambition has just got a shot in the arm because the national Chief Imam, Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, laid his hands on the head of the lawmaker to bless him.

The Member of Parliament for North Tongu in the Volta Region revealed on Saturday, August 6 that he had hosted the Chief Imam.

In a post made on his Facebook page, the best MP for the year 2021 described the opportunity to have no less a person than the eminent Muslim leader in his constituency as the “greatest honour” that had been done to him.

“It’s been the greatest honour and most solemn privilege hosting His Eminence, Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, the National Chief Imam in my beloved constituency today,” Ablakwa wrote to caption awe-inspiring photos of him and the Chief Imam.

Eulogising Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, the Ranking Member of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, said God must love Ghana beyond measure to have blessed it with such a respectable and peace-loving religious leader.

“We cannot thank the Almighty Allah enough for blessing Ghana with a rare oracle of wisdom, peace and inspiration,” he added.

Ablakwa’s post sparked numerous reactions, with many Ghanaians praising the MP for being exceptional and urging him to remain humble and continue to serve his constituents to the best of his ability.

Some also said that for the National Chief Imam himself to have laid hands on his head to bless him, it meant that the MP is destined for greater heights in his political career.
