Ghana’s former President, John Agyekum Kufuor has outrightly condemned the practice
of Lesbians, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex (LGBTQI) describing
it as an abomination to humanity and blasphemous.
The former president
affectionately called the “Gentle Giant,” was speaking in an exclusive
interview with Atinka News’ Afia Kwarteng Asamani.
Describing himself as highly
conservative, the former President questioned why a man would decide to sleep
with his fellow man when God has wonderfully and fearfully created a woman for
that purpose.
J. A Kufuor also attributed the
surge in the practice of LGBTQI+ to lack of parental care, and urged parents,
especially mothers to consider their motherly role as divine and pay more
attention to the upbringing of their children.
The former president noted that
gradually most mothers are abandoning their feminine duty of morally raising
children in a godly manner at the expense of economic wealth, and this, as he
put it, has led to the children growing up with negative influence from peers
and indulging in social vices.
He challenged parents especially
mothers to pay much attention to the care of their wards so they don’t end up
practicing abominable acts such as LGBTQI+.
Currently, there’s an uproar
over calls for the protection of the fundamental human rights of the LGBTQIA+
community in Ghana.
Such calls have compelled the President of the
Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo DankwaAkufo-Addo, to publicly kick against the act, assuring that
legalization of same-sex marriage will never happen under his presidency
