Ambassador Alhaji Abdul-Rahman Haruna Attah, former High Commission of Ghana to Namibia, has said that the National Imam, Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, was under pressure to donate to building the National cathedral.
According to Mr. Haruna Attah, the National Cathedral is a political venture, claimed the Chief Imam should never be allowed to indulge in activities that will put him in a bad light.
Speaking on an Accra-based radio station, Harruna Attah advised people close to the Chief Imam to insulate him from making such political advances.
He said “The Chief Imam has been pressurized into what I term as a political gesture. I think because of his progressive years, he should be insulated from external political factors.”
Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu donated GH¢50,000 last week when two leaders of the Christian clergy paid a courtesy call on him on Thursday, August 26.
