The Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has commended President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his recent pronouncement on the anti-lgbtqi bill.
He says the president’s comment is an indication that he will go down as a great leader who hastened slowly to get it right once.
“Finding the delicate balance to maintain cohesion in society, especially on a fundamental issue such as the anti-LGBTQ+ Bill, is an art that distinguishes great leaders from ordinary ones. H.E. Akufo-Addo will go down as a great leader who hastened slowly to get it right once,” he wrote on X.
On February 28, Parliament passed the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, otherwise known as anti-gay Bill.
President Akufo-Akufo-Addo later urged all stakeholders to await the outcome of the case that has been filed in the Supreme Court by a concerned citizen with regard to the bill before any further action is taken.
The President said with this new development, it would be proper to wait for the ruling of the Supreme Court.
“… I have learnt that, today, a challenge has been mounted at the Supreme Court by a concerned citizen to the constitutionality of the proposed legislation. In the circumstances, it would be, as well, for all of us to hold our hands, and await the decision of the Court before any action is taken,” the President wrote in a statement posted on Facebook by Director of Communication at the presidency, Eugene Arhin on March 4.
