In a remarkable display of kindness and generosity, former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia donated over 3,300 bags of rice to underprivileged Muslims across Ghana in celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr. This selfless act, which covered all sixteen regions, aims to bring relief to many households that often struggle to afford basic meals during this significant day. Dr. Bawumia's donation was distributed through regional representatives tasked with identifying individuals in dire need of assistance.
Notably, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, a former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, also made a similar donation of food items to Muslims in Madina on the occasion of Eid UL Fitr celebration. This act of kindness has been described by many as another 'Show-Down' between Dr. Bawumia and Hon. Agyapong, who previously competed in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries. While some may view these donations as politically motivated, others see them as a genuine commitment to supporting vulnerable communities.
Dr. Bawumia's donation is particularly noteworthy, given the significance of Eid-ul-Fitr in the Muslim community. As the festival marks the end of a month-long fast during Ramadan, Muslims are encouraged to support one another to ensure that no one goes hungry on such a joyous occasion. Dr. Bawumia's timely donation is a shining example of this spirit of support and generosity. The former Vice President's total distribution amounted to 3,320 bags, with the Ashanti Region—known for its large Muslim population—receiving the highest allocation of 480 bags, followed by Greater Accra and Eastern regions with 350 and 340 bags, respectively.
As we reflect on these acts of kindness, let us remember the words of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), "Gratify (the poor) on this day." Dr. Bawumia's and Hon. Agyapong's donations are a testament to the power of generosity and compassion. Their actions demonstrate that even in the midst of political competition, kindness and generosity can prevail.
It is clear that these two key NPP personalities are preparing the grounds for future elections. However, their donations serve as a reminder that true leadership is not just about political ambition, but also about serving and supporting the community. As the great leader, Nelson Mandela, once said, "Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity, it is an act of justice."
Dr. Bawumia's and Hon. Agyapong's donations are a step towards this act of justice, recognizing the inherent dignity and worth of every individual. Their actions demonstrate that giving to support people and community is a holy act that should be emulated by all, regardless of their political affiliation or social status.
In finality, Dr. Bawumia and Hon. Kennedy Agyapong's donations are a shining example of kindness, generosity, and community spirit. Let us encourage others to follow in their footsteps and make a positive impact in their communities. As Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "The believer's shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity."
