The vice president of Ghana Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia spent his Easter with the Lighthouse Chapel International (LCI) at the Independence square.
This was particularly memorable because the Vice President is known to be a staunch Muslim. His presence was testament to his all-embracing leadership qualities, going beyond of his affiliation in the execution of his duties.
H.E Bawumia was seen at the program looking all excited and participating in the various activities.
