Leader of Ghana Union Movement (GUM), Rev. Kwabena Andrews, popularly known as Osofo Kyiri Abosom, has disclosed that as president, he will advocate for men to marry at least five wives.
According to the man of God now politician, the high number of women in the country compared to men justifies his stance.
He believes this doing this would help women find partners and improve their livelihoods rather than remaining single.
He made this revelation in an interview on Kasapa FM, “When we come into office, I will advocate for men to marry five, six, seven, or even ten wives. There are so many women, who do you expect them to be with? It’s good for society. When men marry more wives, our population will grow as God commanded us to fill the earth. But men should also ensure they are working and earning enough to take care of the women. It is not a sin,” he explained.
Contrary to what others might say about it being polygamy he noted that there was nothing sinful about polygamy and rather needs to be embraced in current times.
He revealed that the Bible does not forbid polygamy, and when he is elected as president, he plans to push for this practice as part of his agenda to empower families and increase the country’s population.
