‘I will tag President Akufo-Addo as gay if he refuses to sign anti-gay bill’ – Popular Ghanaian Presidential Candidate Says

Christian Kwabena Andrews, the presidential candidate of the Ghana Union Movement, has issued a stark warning to President Nana Akufo-Addo, stating that he will accuse the president of being gay if he fails to sign the anti-gay bill into law.

In an interview with Rainbow Radio 92.4 FM in the UK via Zoom, Andrews, also known as Osofo Kyiri Abosom, emphasized the importance of upholding African morals, cultural values, and principles by criminalizing LGBTQI+ activities.

Asserting that religious groups unanimously oppose LGBTQI+ practices, Andrews urged President Akufo-Addo to heed the people’s demand and enact the bill without hesitation.

“We don’t have to allow foreigners to blackmail us into accepting something evil as a means to depopulate us,” Andrews declared during the interview, emphasizing the necessity of resisting external pressures that contradict Ghanaian societal norms and values.

The threat comes amidst heightened debates surrounding the anti-gay bill, which imposes strict penalties on individuals identifying as LGBTQ+ and those supporting LGBTQ+ groups.
