The Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has declared his stance on the activities of LGBTQ.
Speaking during the Observation of Eid-prayers in Kumasi on Thursday, the Flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party, emphatically opposed the practice of LGBTQ in Ghana.
Stressing that it’s important to note that the Ghanaian culture and society norms, frowns on the practice of homosexuality.
“Furthermore, as a Muslim, my view on this matter aligns with the position of my religious faith. The Holy Quran is replete with verses frowning on LGBTQ acts, including same-sex marriages. My faith is therefore very strictly against the practice of homosexuality, no “ifs” or “buts”. No shades of grey,” Dr. Bawumia said.
Therefore, I personally cannot support that which my religion, and indeed, all the major religions in Ghana clearly and unequivocably forbid. All the major religious traditions in Ghana (Christianity and Islam) are opposed to this practice and I stand opposed to it now and I will stand opposed to it as president, Insha Allah”, he declared his stance.
