“President Mahama is not vindictive and he does not forget; he remembers” – Duncan Williams

Archbishop Nicolas Duncan-Williams, the founder of Action Chapel International, asserts that President John Dramani Mahama is not a vengeful individual.

The founder of Action Chapel revealed during a worship session in Accra with President Mahama and the Christian community that the President remembers rather than forgets.

“I want to admonish all the Ministers that sit in counsel with Mr. President, don’t be vindictive. Don’t pay evil for evil. Don’t sit to settle scores with anybody, and do not use the victory and the glory of this President to settle scores with anyone. Because there are implications for that, when you use power given to you and entrusted to you for the benefit of the people to settle scores and to prove a point, there are serious implications for that.

“As I meditate on the word of God, this scripture came to mind, Hebrews 6:10, when the Bible says that God is not unrighteous to forget”, Archbishop Duncan-Williams said.

“And to you Ministers of God, I have said to you individually over and over again that this President is not vindictive, and he does not forget; he remembers. It is a matter of time, and you will be surprised that he does not forget” he added.

In response, President Mahama reiterated his position on LGBTQ+ issues and expressed his conviction that there are only two genders: male and female.

In order to bring the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill as a government-sponsored bill instead of a private member’s motion, the President revealed that he is collaborating closely with Speaker of the House of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin.

“I, as a Christian, uphold the principle and the values that only two genders exist man and woman. And that marriage is between a man and a woman,” Mahama stated. “I’ve spoken with the Speaker so that a renewal of the expired Proper Families Values Bill should be a bill that is introduced by government rather than as a private member’s motion. And it’s my hope that that consultation would see a renewed Proper Families Values Bill.”

The debate over LGBTQ+ rights in Ghana has been a highly sensitive and polarizing issue for years. While the country’s constitution guarantees fundamental human rights, same-sex relationships remain criminalized under Ghana’s laws, with Section 104 of the Criminal Offenses Act prohibiting “unnatural carnal knowledge.”
