Former Black Stars captain Andre Ayew made an unexpected appearance at the 2026 National Maulid in Accra on Saturday. The annual event, hosted by the National Chief Imam Sheikh Dr. Osman Nuhu Sharubutu at Fadama, drew thousands of Muslims to celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Apart from Ayew, dignitaries such as former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, State Ministers, Parliamentarians, Islamic clerics, and delegations from neighboring West African nations were present.
The devout Muslim Ayew was met with cheers upon his arrival and was officially recognized on stage, receiving applause as he engaged with the crowd. He donned a traditional jalabiya and hat, and took part in the night-long recitations and prayers honoring the Prophet. The National Maulid, organized every year, highlights Prophet Muhammad's virtues of peace, unity, humility, patience, and discipline.
This year's event saw Muslims from across Ghana gather for a night of Quranic recitation, praise chants, and prayers for the nation.
