The Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church, Ghana, Professor Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu, has publicly challenged remarks by the Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, regarding the importance of LGBTQ issues to Ghanaians.
In an interview with JoyNews on Tuesday, April 7, Mr Kwakye Ofosu asserted that LGBTQ concerns do not rank among the most urgent matters for the country’s citizens.
Responding on Wednesday, April 8, Prof. Asamoah-Gyadu took to Facebook to question the basis of the Minister’s claim, asking pointedly, “Which Ghanaians? So which Ghanaian is this minister referring to here?”.
He further demanded evidence to support the statement, highlighting the absence of credible data or public surveys on the matter.
“In any case, did we miss a poll on this issue? If your position has changed, just clarify. Don’t underestimate the public’s intelligence. Please be reasonable,” he wrote.
