Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has sparked controversy after attending church services during Easter, drawing attention due to his Muslim faith. Observers online questioned whether his presence was motivated by political gain, suggesting he might be seeking votes rather than worshipping.
Many users argued that a Muslim does not traditionally believe in Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, and therefore attending Easter services could be viewed as a strategic move for political advantage. Some highlighted the frequency of his visits to the Pentecost Church, joking that he might as well be an elder or presiding elder by now.
Reactions ranged from critical to humorous, with netizens mocking his church participation, questioning his religious consistency, and joking about the blending of politics and faith. Others, however, saw his attendance as an effort to promote social cohesion.
