Lead advocate for the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, Moses Foh-Amoaning, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to remain faithful to what he describes as a “social contract” with Ghanaians regarding the passage of the Anti-LGBTQ+ bill.
Speaking in an interview on Dwaso Nsem on Adom FM, Mr. Foh-Amoaning delivered a strongly worded appeal to the President, insisting that the commitment made to voters during the political campaign must be fulfilled.
Addressing the President directly, he argued that Ghana must resist external influence on the matter, linking global advocacy against the bill to broader historical injustices.
“Mr. President, the slave trade was stopped over 218 to 219 years ago, but we have gone to the UN to seek a resolution that it is the crime against humanity of the century,” he said.
He further claimed that international institutions and Western countries were exerting pressure on Ghana, which he described as inconsistent with their historical roles.
“We have the same UN agencies like UNESCO, UNDP… and the same countries, Britain, Denmark, are now pushing for LGBTQ+,” he stated.
Foh-Amoaning went further to describe such developments as deeply troubling, drawing a controversial comparison between past and present global systems, reminding the President of what he described as an electoral promise, and urged him to ensure the bill becomes law.
“Can’t President Mahama see this is a form of modern-day slavery?” he asked, adding, “You told us when you are elected, you will sign this bill into law… go by what you told us.”
Warning of possible public reaction, he added that failure to act on the promise could trigger backlash from citizens.
“If not, Ghanaians will protest against you because it is hurting this country,” he cautioned.
Foh-Amoaning further framed his appeal in moral and religious terms, referencing biblical scripture as part of his argument for adherence to the bill.
