Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has expressed gratitude to the Almighty Allah for healing him saying “good health is better than riches.”
Addressing a Muslim congregation, when he joined the National Chief Imam Sheikh Nuhu Sharubutu to observe the Friday prayers at the Central Mosque at Abbosey-Okai, Dr. Bawumia said: “Honestly, you have heard that I fell sick. But by the grace of Allah I’m now well. As a result, I said we need to thank Allah for the mercies than me because he is the healer thus when Allah gives you good health you must thank him. That was why I was here to pray with the congregation and thank him [Allah] accordingly for the mercies bestowed on me.”
Observing that the recent ill-health he suffered, was a test from Allah, the former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana stated “that was when you will know that good health is better than riches.”
He expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for their support and prayers, adding “I’m happy that I have come back Insha Allah [God willing] ready to continue work.”
He added: “When you go around, you take your health for granted but it is when you don’t feel well that you would appreciate what God has actually given you.”
