Moses Foh-Amoaning, Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, has vehemently condemned Lincoln University’s decision to withdraw an honorary doctorate degree (honoris causa) intended for President John Dramani Mahama.
He characterised the university’s reversal as a disgusting and disrespectful act that serves as a direct insult to the Ghanaian leadership.
The legal practitioner further asserted that the institution lacks the inherent integrity or moral standing required to embarrass a sitting president in such a fashion. He remarked that the university’s primary claim to relevance remains its status as the alma mater of Ghana’s first president, the late Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
The withdrawal, communicated mere hours before the scheduled ceremony on Thursday, March 26, reportedly followed internal pressure from groups concerned with President Mahama’s perceived stance on the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill.
This legislation, commonly referred to as the anti-gay bill, is currently under consideration by Parliament. In his defence of the Ghanaian position, Foh-Amoaning argued that there is nothing honourable about homosexual acts, which he described in graphic and disparaging terms.
Regarding the university’s justification, Foh-Amoaning stated, “It is disgusting for a man to penetrate the anus of another man, a place reserved for faecal matter to pass through. What is honourable about another woman licking the private part of another woman, and for that reason, they have decided to withdraw the honour they wanted to give our president? The school has no gravitas. Its only rise to fame is that Ghana’s former President Kwame Nkrumah went to that school.”
Speaking on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, he argued that the university’s actions sent a clear message of disrespect intended to undermine Ghana’s sovereignty and coerce the nation into accepting what he deems an evil practice.
He suggested that this move was also a targeted retaliation against the president’s landmark resolution before the United Nations General Assembly, which seeks global recognition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade as the gravest crime against humanity.
Mr Foh-Amoaning framed the incident as a manifestation of cultural imperialism, driven by powerful external forces attempting to force homosexuality upon Ghana despite its societal repercussions.
He equated this pressure to a modern form of bondage, stating, “This is what our former president Kwame Nkrumah referred to as ‘cultural imperialism’. It is another form of slavery. This is even worse because it is an attempt to enslave us mentally. This happened so we can recognise the agenda of the whites. As Africans, we will never become slaves to their nonsense. What we can tell Lincoln University and people like them is that Africans are free forever and we will never become slaves to their nonsense. They can have sex with their head, shoulders, knees, hairs, and toes; we don’t care, but we will not accept it because it is not natural. It is disgusting.”
He informed host Kwabena Agyapong that the Coalition plans to initiate several actions against the university to diminish its reputation. He expressed a sense of relief that the conferment was cancelled, suggesting that certain elements within the government might have lobbied behind the scenes for the award.
Foh-Amoaning dismissed the honorary degree as lacking intellectual or scientific merit, asserting that any university supporting a pro-homosexuality agenda is driven by ideology rather than rational science.
“We don’t want any ‘trumu trumu’ award because it stinks so bad,” he remarked. “It is not even intellectual. A university must respond to science. Is it rational? It is senseless. Any university that pushes an agenda in support of homosexuality is only engaging in an ideological agenda and not one based on science.”
He announced that the Coalition would mobilise African Americans to boycott the institution. Furthermore, he stated that they intend to petition the family of the late Dr Kwame Nkrumah to formally request that the university cease associating its name with the legacy of the former Ghanaian leader.
