"Why don't they introduce the same thing in Saudi Arabia? Why don't they try?” he said on Accra-based Peace FM.
“Because they know their values and religious principles don't support it but why is that when they come to Africa, they feel they come and tell us anything they want?''
He added: ''You have the right to be whatever you want to do in your country but when you leave your country to another country, at least show respect that you're going to deal with people there.
“So, don't come and impose your ideas and values… I feel it is an act of arrogance and disrespect to us, Africans.”
