He was addressing Muslim congregants after the Eid prayers at the Kumasi Central Mosque.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to note our cultural, societal and norms as well as values as Ghanaians frown on the same sex marriage. Further, as a Muslim my view on this matter aligns with the position of my religious faith. My faith is strictly against the practice of LGBTQ+, No ifs, no buts.<\/p>\n

Therefore, I personally cannot support that which my religion and indeed all major religions in Ghana as well as our societal norms and values clearly forbid.<\/p>\n

All major religious are oppose to the practice and I stand opposed to it now and I will stand oppose to it as president,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
