The Burra Songai Chief of Okaikwai Central joined other prominent Muslims and Zongo tribal Chiefs to visit the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin at the Parliament House in Accra.

The visit which was made up of a delegation from the Coalition of Muslim Organizations in Ghana was to confer on the Speaker the title ‘Saifu_llah’ which means the Sword of God at Parliament House for his contribution towards safeguarding and protecting the Ghanaian values and norms.

The Burra Songai Chief assured the Speaker of his commitment to advocating the need to practice proper human and sexual rights and Ghanaian family values to his people which the Speaker has assured of its passage at the end of the year.

According to him, both the Qur'an and the Bible are against practices of LGBTQ and therefore the Bill against the act is in the right direction, adding that the call for the passage of the Bill is a responsibility for all.

He commended the Speaker and Members of Parliament for the steps taken to ensure that the passage of the Bill live to see the light of day.

He said the immense contribution of the Speaker of Parliament to protect and safeguard the Ghanaian values and norms against the LGBTQ calls for commendations from all Ghanaians.
