President Mahama Joins Eid-ul-Fitr Prayers at Black Star Square
Accra, March 20, 2026 — In a moment that stirred both pride and reflection, former President John Dramani Mahama joined thousands of Muslims at Black Star Square to mark the end of Ramadan with Eid-ul-Fitr prayers. His presence wasn’t just ceremonial — it was symbolic, powerful, and deeply appreciated by the Muslim community.
A Leader Among the People
Mahama arrived early, dressed modestly, and greeted worshippers with humility. He sat among imams, chiefs, and ordinary citizens — not above them, but beside them. His message was clear: Ghana belongs to all of us, and peace must be our shared responsibility.
“Let us carry the spirit of Ramadan into our politics, our homes, and our streets,” Mahama said. “Ghana must rise above division and walk boldly into unity.”
A Sea of Faith and Color
Black Star Square was transformed into a vibrant field of prayer mats, white garments, and joyful faces. From Afienya to Nima, worshippers came in buses, on foot, and in convoys. Children played, elders prayed, and the air was filled with Takbeer — the call of victory after fasting.
National Chief Imam Sheikh Sharubutu led the prayers with grace and wisdom.
Traditional leaders from the Ga State stood in solidarity.
Security forces ensured peace, with police officers stationed respectfully across the square.
Mahama’s Presence: More Than Politics
This wasn’t about votes. It was about visibility, respect, and connection. Mahama’s presence reminded many Muslims that they are seen, valued, and included in Ghana’s national story.
Some worshippers wept. Others cheered. Many simply nodded in quiet approval.
“He didn’t come with noise. He came with respect,” said a worshipper from Ashaiman.
Ghana’s Future in Focus
As the prayers ended and the crowd dispersed, one thing was clear: Ghana’s strength lies in its diversity. Mahama’s call for peace, unity, and compassion echoed beyond the square — into homes, hearts, and headlines.
Whether you support him or not, his presence at Eid was a moment of national dignity.
