Morning Muslim, Evening Christian and Soon to Pour Libation, Dishonest Person Can’t Lead the Country- Hon. Rashid Ahmed jabs Dr. Bawumia

In a recent public statement, Kwaku Rooney has stirred controversy by casting aspersions on the religious identity of Dr. Bawumia. The crux of Rooney’s critique centers around the apparent duality of Dr. Bawumia’s religious practices – identifying as a Muslim in the morning and partaking in Christian communion at night, all under the umbrella of political ambition. Rooney takes issue with what he perceives as a contradiction, accusing Dr. Bawumia of disparaging non-Christians and compromising his Islamic beliefs for political gain.

The allegation that anyone who does not believe in Jesus is labeled an anti-Christ and is precluded from attaining heaven is a theological standpoint that has ignited debates on the intersections of faith and political maneuvering. Rooney’s condemnation of Dr. Bawumia as a “disgrace to Islam” suggests a deep-seated concern about the sincerity of religious affiliations when intertwined with political pursuits.

He argued that political figures must be transparent about their religious beliefs, and any perceived discrepancy raises questions about authenticity and the potential exploitation of faith for political advantage. The accusation of taking communion at churches, a sacred Christian practice, is particularly contentious, as it implies a willingness to blur religious boundaries for electoral gains.

It is imperative to approach these allegations with nuance and an understanding of the complexities that surround religious identity in the political sphere. The accusation of Dr. Bawumia being a “disgrace to Islam” underscores the tensions within the Muslim community over perceived deviations from doctrinal orthodoxy. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the diversity of religious interpretations within Islam and the broader context of interfaith relations but that notwithstanding Islam frown against elevation other religious traditions against the Islamic doctrine enshrined in the holy Quran which is to defend and protect the religion at all times.

The behavior of the Vice President , raise ethical concerns about the intersection of religion and politics. Such a wavering faith raises concern about the credibility and integrity of the vice president taking into account his behavior in recent times and addition to his numerous lies and his iconic name recognized by google as the biggest liar in Ghana.

To sum it up, the controversy ignited by Kwaku Rooney’s critique on Dr. Bawumia unveils the intricate relationship between religious identity and political aspirations. To be a president of a country like Ghana is a serious business and we need serious minded and honest people to lead the country and not deceit and dishonest politician like Dr. Bawumia.
