I’m against the activities of the LGBTQI community – Bawumia boldly states
The Vice President of the Republic of Ghana and flag bearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has emphatically stated that he is against the activities of the LGBTQI community.
According to the second gentleman of the land, he is a devoted Muslim who’s faith neither supports nor condones homosexuality. He disclosed that his view on this matter aligns with the position of his religious faith.
“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.” he 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 added.
