In a show of rare cooperation, the centenarian National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu on Wednesday 19th May 2021 paid a historic visit to Okuapehene Oseadeeyo Kwasi Akuffo III in his palace in Akropong Akuapem.
According to the Chief Imam, his visit was purposed to fortify the ties between the Muslim community and the Akuapem State, although, the Muslim population in Akuapem is not that huge.
In his show of solidarity, the Chief Imam made donations to the Akropong School for the Blind and the Mampong School for the Deaf.
The Chief Imam expressed his appreciation to the Paramountcy of Akuapem for a warm reception given him and his entourage. The visit also saw the leadership of the local council of churches showing solidarity towards the Muslim community.
The Chief Imam promised that the event would not be the first and last as intermittent visits would be planned to further strengthen the established ties.
He further prayed Allah’s blessing and harmony upon Okuapemman and Oseadeeyo Kwasi Akuffo III, for his time of kingship in Okuapemman to be of a sort.
Oseadeeyo Kwasi Akuffo III stated how overwhelmed he was to receive the Chief Imam and his entourage, being the first in the history of Okuapemman. He added an affirmation to return the favour in what is aimed at fostering the ties between them.
