The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has unequivocally expressed his strong opposition against the practice of homosexuality in Ghana.
Speaking at Eid-ul-Fitr prayers in Kumasi on Thursday, Dr. Bawumia told thousands of Muslims that his faith as a Muslim is against the practice.
"I will like to take this opportunity to personally comment on the raging issue of LGBTQ in Ghana. First of all, it is important to note that our cultural and societal norms and values as Ghanaians frown 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 established.
He also pledged not to waver in his faith but rather perpetually stay opposed to the LGBTQ+ community and their activities, stressing his position will remain the same while as President of Ghana.
"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", the Vice President cum presidential candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party stressed.

Such an emphatic statement from an honest person. The NDC is shivers anytime they hear the voice of Bawumia so they go into insults and name calling. Shame on you guys.

DR BAWULIAR as Head of Economic Management Team (EMT) togethet with Bank of Ghana BOSS and Finance Minister, came to agreement and conclusion and issued official position that the president should not sign anti gay bill because Ghana stands to lose 4 billion dollars for the next 4 years from Britonn Woods institutions. For political expediency, same individual Rev Zacharia is flippping flopping. How on earth do you expect The Conman Dr Bawuliar to sign the bill in 2025 should he wins the presidency.You can't trust this flip and notorious Liar. Enough of the deception
Thank u for throwing dust into the eyes of Ghanaians .....they will vote for u and when you become the president,,,forget and ignore them ......Akkufo did the same and he even forced himself for a second term .....bawulieyer u can do same and even better....keep tell them stories they are waiting for the next lie after tye tax cut....LGBTQ ...... what's next we can't wait to hear from u Mr do nothing vice president
Your boss has said the same thing but he's refusing to sign a bill that's meant to prohibit per our culture. Would you sign the bill as president? That was clearly missing in your assurance message.
