January 4 marks the accession day of His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

It’s been 12 years since he took his place as Ruler of Dubai and this year he dedicated the day to thank His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces for devoting his life to serving the nation and ensuring the happiness of citizens.

The response in just one day was huge, and the response of MBZ was amazing.

After the campaign was launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed
