Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission strengthens foothold in Oti region
Dambai, Oti Region: The Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission has deepened its foothold in the Oti region by organising a maiden two-day regional conference at Dambai, the capital of the region on Tuesday.
The conference aimed at spreading Islamic evangelism was jointly organised by the Greater Accra and Volta zones of the Mission with the support of some traditional authorities.
It was on the theme “Khalifat: The continuity of prophethood and the soul of Islam.”
The event was preceded by other activities that included a float through the streets of Dambai township, sports, prayers, and quizzes.
Daniel Machator, the Oti regional minister, commended the Ahmadiyya Muslims Mission for the choice of the region and municipality for the maiden conference, which he said would go a long way to shape the faith and attitude of the people.
He observed that Muslims and Christians have over the years complemented the efforts of the government to provide schools, hospitals, and various social amenities.
He has therefore urged them to abide by the tenets of their religious values of peaceful coexistence to forge closer ties for peace and tranquillity to prevail before and after the December 2024 general election.
He advised the people of the region to also go about their political campaigns peacefully without fomenting trouble, an act he said was unlawful.
The Zonal Ahmadiyya Missionary of Tema, Maulvi Abass bin Suleman, said the time was rife to spread the good message of Islam to ensure peace, which was necessary for the sustenance of democratic governance and economic development.
Maulvi bin Suleman described the conference as a catalyst for strengthening Ahmadiyya in the region, which had five circuits, namely Agbozume, Worawora, Ho, Dambai, and Kete-Krachi.
The Chief of Dambai, Nana Kwaku Beyennor II, gave the assurance that they were ready to provide the mission with land to make the religion more visible in the area.
He was happy for their message, which condemned violence and welcomed peace, which was a needed ingredient for development.
