A religious leader, Rev. Charles Owusu, has expressed disappointment in President John Dramani Mahama over his recent comments on LGBTQ issues.
Speaking on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM, Rev. Owusu said he voted for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the elections based on the President’s earlier stance on the matter.
He criticised the President’s position that LGBTQ issues are not a basic need, describing it as a departure from previous assurances.
Rev. Owusu also questioned the silence of some religious leaders on the issue, urging Christians to remain firm in their beliefs and speak out.
“It’s against our religion and morals, and I am shocked. We should stand our ground as children of God on this issue. I voted for the NDC because the candidate made his stance on LGBTQ+ clear, but I am now disappointed in what he has said as a Christian.
“He is stating that this is no longer a priority, and his recent statements suggest he will not support any related bills.
“I feel ashamed for the pastors; we all stood against this issue during the time of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, so where are all the voices now? As Christians, we need to live Christ-like lives. We have a Christian president, and we should live to the glory of God. What has changed?” he questioned.
