A Muslim group has asked the Sam Pee Yalley to apologized to the Muslim community in Ghana for making disparaging remarks about their faith.
Sam Pee Yalley is also on record to have said the location of the Flagstaff is a national security threat because it is closer to Nima, a Muslim dominated community.
In a statement, the Coalition of Muslim Organization (COMOG) accused Mr Yalley of religious bigotry.
“As a nation that prides itself in the peaceful co-existence between members of different religious persuasions, such acts of bigotry and Islamophobia from no less a person than Mr. Yalley must be condemned by all peace-loving Ghanaians,” the statement said.
The group said it was the NDC guru finds the presence of Muslims at the Flagstaff at the behest of the Vive President as nuisance.
“Dr. Alhaji Bawumia is the second gentleman on the land, and as humble as we know him may have sought permission from President Nana Akufo-Addo and perhaps other officials before the first-ever Iftar took place there,” the statement said.
“We therefore find it unfortunate that Mr. Yalley decided that Muslims’ presence at the presidency is a nuisance since no law was broken.”
The statement further denounced his comments as expression of intolerance as well as the promotion of islamophobia.
“His statement against the Iftar event at the Flagstaff House is an expression of intolerance to the manifestation of Islamic practice in public and the promotion of the fear of Islam and Muslims,” they noted.
