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.
The Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, suggested that issues relating to LGBTQ+ rights are not a major priority for Ghanaians, stressing that the government remains focused on key socio-economic concerns.
Speaking on The Pulse on Tuesday, 7 April, Mr Kwakye Ofosu said the issue does not rank among the top concerns of ordinary citizens.
“This is not a major issue. It’s another waste of time. You know, NPP, they specialise in wasting the time of everybody,” he stated.
He questioned why the matter should dominate national discourse when many citizens are more concerned about livelihoods and economic survival.
