The vice president likened his boss to the uncle of Prophet Mohammad, Abu Talib, who never accepted Islam but was helpful to the Prophet.
"We all know Nana Akufo-Addo, yes he is not a Muslim but he is so helpful to Muslims. When I talked to him about the Zongo Development Fund he said yes let us do it and we have done it.
"When we talked about bringing arabic to make sure that JHS (Junior High School) and SHS (Senior High School) exams are written in this country, he said yes let us do it and we are going to do it," he said.
