The National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, warned Muslim youth not to be used as agents of violence during the upcoming elections on December 7.
The spokesperson for the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Aremeyaw Shaibu, spoke on her behalf at the launch of the Dome Kwabenya manifesto by incumbent MP Sarah Adwoa Safo.
He identified the lack of pursuit of education among Muslim youth as the cause of their involvement in electoral violence.
According to him, political parties largely exploit young Muslims as tools of violence during the electoral period.
“Lack of knowledge is setback and deficiency. If it is enlightened, it will be very difficult for them to use it as a tool for violence. Most Muslim youth … have become victims of manipulation. We are expected to seek knowledge and be empowered enough to resist political manipulations. ”
Sheikh Sharubutu, therefore, exhorted them to be vigilant and seek education to be useful in society.
“Elections are approaching and I urge Muslim youth to be guided by the values of religion through knowledge. Desist from acts of violence and be firm in your resolution not to be manipulated by politicians who will make any effort to obtain power, ”he said.
