Good Health Better Than Riches – Bawumia
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has expressed gratitude to the
Almighty Allah for healing him saying “good health is better riches.”
Dr. Bawumia returned home Thursday night after a 12-day medical leave in
the United Kingdom.
He left Accra to London on January 19, 2018,
on the advice of his physician after being announced sick. At exactly,
08:04 hours, President Akufo-Addo, accompanied by his wife Rebecca
Akufo-Addo drove onto the tarmac at the Kotoka International Airport to receive Dr Bawumia who arrived on board British Airways airline.
After announcing his return to work in a Facebook post Friday aimed at
expressing his “sincere gratitude” to Ghanaians for their prayers and
support while away on medical leave, Dr. Bawumia joined the National
Chief Imam Sheikh Nuhu Sharubutu to observe the Friday prayers at the
Central Mosque at Abbosey-Okai.
Addressing the congregation after
the prayers, he 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 continued, “I’m so grateful to Ghanaians from all walks
of life, and religion for the prayers that they have done on my behalf
when I took a medical leave. I’m so thankful and grateful for their
prayers and I’m happy that I have come back Insha Allah [God willing]
ready to continue work.”
