Mr. Awuni said “Ever since Dr. Bin Salih took office as a Regional Minister he has always championed religious cohesion and I think this is a festive season and he wants to strengthen the peaceful coexistence between Muslims and Christians. He equally believes in the birth of Christ and this is a special period where we have to share and he has sent us to present these items to the Catholic church on his behalf. So if you see us here that is the main reason why we are at your door this morning” he told Rev. Father Benjamin Feritie, Chancellor at the Bishop’s secretariat.
In response, Rev. Father Feritie said “the gesture of the Regional Minister is very much appreciated. Indeed, sharing is a very wonderful experience. When we share we have everything.
