The District Pastor for Bantama Assemblies of God Church in the Ashanti Region Rev Oppong Acheampong has urged President Nana Akufo-Addo to sign the anti-LGBTQ bill to prove his detractors wrong.
According to him, President Akuffo Addo’s assent to the bill will send a strong message to the entire world that he abhors the act as he’s been preaching over the years
Rev Oppong has observed that, the president has nothing to fear signing the bill saying that, the entire country particularly Christians and Muslims will support his decision

About the Bill
Parliamentary on February 28, 2024, approved a bill criminalizing LGBTQ activities and prohibiting their promotion, advocacy, and funding in Ghana.
