Supreme Head of Ahmadiyya Movement calls on President Kufuor
Accra, March 15, GNA - President John Agyekum Kufuor on Monday said leadership
in every endeavour must be used to serve humanity to maintain peace,
unity and prosperity.
He said any Leader whether in religion, politics or a community who
failed to serve humanity did not qualify to be a leader. President Kufuor
made the observation when Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih
V, Supreme Head of the world-wide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community currently
on a 12-day visit to Ghana paid a courtesy call on him at the Castle,
Osu.
He commended the Ahmadiyya Movement in Ghana for their contribution
to in the health; agriculture and education and observed that schools
the Movement maintained were among the most disciplined in Ghana. President
Kufuor said Ghana shared in the honour of the election of Hadrat Ahmad,
who served in Ghana from 1977 to 1985. Hadrat Ahmad commended the Government
for the peace in Ghana and the tremendous improvement in the infrastructure
and socio-economic development.
Maulvi Wahab Adam, Ameer of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Ghana, said Ghana
was the first country to be visited by the Supreme Leader after his election
on April 22, last year. [Correction by Alislam:
Khalifatul Masih V (aba) had traveled to Germany and France in 2003
after his election]
He said Hadrat Ahmad would participate in the 75th Annual Convention
of the Movement at Ashongman this month.
The Movement has been established in 170 countries in the world. While
in Ghana, Hadrat Ahmad was the Principal of the Ahmadiyya Secondary School
at Salaga for two years and Principal of Ahmadiyya Secondary School at
Essarkyir for four years. He was also the Manager of Ahmadiyya Agricultural
Farm in Northern Ghana for two years during which he successfully planted
and nurtured wheat for the first time in Ghana.Source: GNA
