Prayers were shared at the homes of both the Imam and the Chief for Allah�s protection and guidance for Dr. Bawumia and his team.

Dr. Bawumia had earlier on in the day paid an unannounced visit to the Takoradi Market Circle where he was mobbed by hundreds of excited market women and merchants who hurried to shake hands with the former Governor of the Bank of Ghana. So excited were the market women, that many left their stalls and wares to follow Dr. Bawumia through the market readily composing various songs to cheer him.
