President Nana Akufo-Addo said on Aljazeera that legalisation of homosexuality is bound to happen in Ghana if public opinion for it legalisation grows stronger.

“I don’t believe that in Ghana, so far, a sufficiently strong coalition has emerged which is having that impact on public opinion that will say: ‘Change it [the law], let’s then have a new paradigm in Ghana."

“I think it is something that is bound to happen like elsewhere in the world, they are activities of individuals or groups,” he said.

Nana Akufo-Addo’s comments have, however, not gone down well with many Ghanaians, who feel that his comments suggest an endorsement of homosexuality.

But the Minister of Information; Mustapha Hamid has clarified that the Nana Addo government has no intention to legalize same-sex relationship.

Apostle Amoako Atta was optimistic President Akufo-Addo will not lead the legalization of such an act in Ghana.

In a related development, Apostle Amoako Atta said Ghanaian Christians must love homosexuals instead of condemning them.

“It’s about time we love them, bring them onboard so that they can be transformed” he added.
