Elections 2024 Muslim Cleric Condemns Hate Speech

A Muslim Cleric, Imam Ibrahim Mutala has advised Ghanaians to remain united before, during and after the forthcoming December 7, 2024, general elections.

Delivering a sermon on Friday, July 26, 2024, in Masjid Salaam at Ridge, he cautioned Ghanaians, especially political office seekers to refrain from hate speech and convey their ideas to the masses, preaching peace.

“Politicians and political commentators should convey to transform lives and make Ghana progressive after the 2024 elections. They should be measured in their utterances, avoid character assassination and personal vendetta.”

Imam Ibrahim Mutala further advised the youth of Muslim-dominated communities to resist pressures or attempts by some political figures to use them to cause mayhem as witnessed in the past.

He said the Muslim youth should reasonably serve as peace ambassadors, underscoring the need for Muslim Clerics to intensify their prayers for peaceful general elections.
