The leader and founder of Union Government Movement, Akwasi Addae Odike has asserted that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will not endorse any legislation perceived as anti-LGBTQ+. His statement comes amidst ongoing debates and efforts to introduce laws targeting LGBTQ+ rights in Ghana.
Odike’s assertion regarding President Nana Addo’s stance on anti-LGBTQ+ legislation carries weight given his political experience and insights into the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). He emphasized that the president relies on foreign aid and loan hence he cannot go against his paymasters will for LGBTQ++ legalization in the country.

Ghana’s LGBTQ+ community has faced increasing scrutiny and discrimination in recent years, with calls from conservative groups and religious leaders for stricter laws against LGBTQ+ rights. However, the prospect of enacting such legislation remains contentious, with proponents of human rights and civil liberties advocating for tolerance and inclusivity.
Odike’s statement serves to underscore the complexities surrounding LGBTQ+ rights in Ghanaian society and the delicate balance between traditional values and modern principles of equality and non-discrimination.
