Claim: A TikTok user has shared a fact card in which ex-President John Mahama reportedly said he would legalise the actions of “gay[s] and lesbian[s].”
Verdict: False!
Verification: No evidence supports the social media user’s claim. However, Mr Mahama is clear that LGBTQ+ practices are against the beliefs of the country’s religious groups. “I am against LGBTQ. I am a member of the Assemblies of God Church, and my faith is against it,” Mr Mahama said at a meeting with some Zongo chiefs. We found no publication on the claim when we conducted a Google keyword search.
