The Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Ghana (FOMWAG) has called on President John Dramani Mahama and Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang to fulfill their promises to the Muslim community.
It stated, “We look forward to both of you accomplishing most, if not all, of your promises to the Muslim community and Ghanaians as a whole.”
In a release issued to the Ghana News Agency on Wednesday in Accra, the Association congratulated the President and Vice President on their ascension to the highest office of the land.
As a women-based organization, the Association particularly congratulated the first female Vice President for the Republic, saying her appointment was historic and well-deserved.
It said, “This milestone is a testament to her unwavering dedication, exceptional leadership, and deep commitment to the progress and well-being of our nation.”
The release noted that her ascension to the highest office of the land was not only a personal achievement but also a monumental victory for women across Ghana.
“Your success serves as an inspiration, not only for women in politics but also for young women and girls everywhere, showing that no dream is too big to achieve. It demonstrates that the future of Ghana is one in which women play an integral and decisive role in shaping the nation’s development.”
The Association also congratulated the president and commended him for choosing a woman as his running mate and subsequently Vice President.
“This remarkable achievement as President is a testament to your dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the progress and development of our beloved nation.”
As a key organization advocating for the rights and empowerment of Muslim women in Ghana, FOMWAG expressed excitement about collaborating to build a more inclusive and equitable Ghana for all citizens, where every woman, regardless of background, can realize her full potential.
“We are confident that your tenure will see the advancement of gender-related issues, particularly the promotion of education for girls, women’s economic empowerment, and the strengthening of women’s voices in all sectors of society.”
