Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has reiterated his firm stance against LGBTQ+ activities, assuring the clergy in Tamale that such practices will not be allowed under his presidency. This declaration was made during his tour of the Northern Region on Thursday, May 16th.
Addressing the clergy, Dr. Bawumia emphasized the alignment of his position with the religious and cultural values of Ghana. “Our Bible says no, our Quran says no, and our people say no,” he stated emphatically. This reaffirmation of traditional values comes amidst a broader national and international discourse on LGBTQ+ rights.
During his visit to the Savannah Region in Damongo on Wednesday, Dr. Bawumia conveyed a similar message to Imams, Chiefs, and Muslim leaders. He underscored that both his personal beliefs and the general sentiments of the Ghanaian society are opposed to LGBTQ+ activities. “There is this issue of LGBTQ which people are talking about. It is something that I will never allow to happen as President. Our religion is against it, and the Ghanaian society is also against it. It will never happen here,” Dr. Bawumia declared.
The Vice President’s tour of the Northern Region has been marked by these strong statements, which reflect his commitment to maintaining the moral and traditional values of Ghanaian society. His firm stance on social and moral issues is a cornerstone of his campaign as he seeks to secure the presidency in the upcoming elections.
Ricjard Ahiagbah, Director of Communications for the NPP, commented on the significance of the Vice President’s visit, noting, “Bawumia Tours the Northern Region today.” The tour highlights Dr. Bawumia’s dedication to engaging with local leaders and constituents, reaffirming his policy positions and addressing the concerns of the community.
As the election campaign progresses, Dr. Bawumia’s unwavering stance on LGBTQ+ issues will likely continue to resonate with voters who share his commitment to upholding traditional values and the moral fabric of Ghanaian society.
