There was massive joy at Sorbelle in the Sissala West district of the Upper West Region when Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, commissioned a state-of-the-art mosque for the community over the weekend.

The mosque, fully funded by the Vice President, is to serve the Muslim population in the community.

Prior to the commissioning, Dr. Bawumia and the community observed one of the five daily Muslim prayers, Asr, in the mosque. 

The Paramount Chief of the area, on behalf of the community, expressed their profound gratitude to Dr. Bawumia and prayed Allah to reward him abundantly.

"This beautiful mosque you have built for us here in the community will not only help us to get closer to our Maker, it will also turn the place into a tourist attraction. May the Almighty Allah reward and bless you abundantly for this wonderful gesture", the Chief said.

Dr. Bawumia, on his part, said "I am happy today…When I made the promise to build the mosque, I prayed to Allah to make it possible and Allah said it is possible. So, I thank the Almighty Allah for making it possible to build this mosque for you."

Although the mosque will primarily be used by Muslims, the entire community joined in the celebration of having such edifice, sharing tears of joy and thanked the NPP presidential candidate for his thoughtful service to them. 

They believed the mosque will serve them well and trusted that with Bawumia honoring his word to them by constructing this mosque, he will indeed fulfil his promises to the entire nation should he become Ghana’s President in 2025.
