‘’Living peacefully with others should always be our prime focus because peace and unity promote development,’’ he said.
He said: ‘’Continue to pray for Manhyia South, Asanteman and Ghana as you always do because we are one people with a common goal.’’
Dr Prempeh, said that it was important for Muslims to celebrate in modesty and ensure incident-free Eid.
‘’We should be law abiding in the period of the festivities and ensure that we continue to promote peace and unity always,’’ he said.
‘’On the occasion of this year’s Eid-Ul-Adha, I wish you happy celebrations and I promise to be your humble servant as always,’’ he added.
