National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has lambasted President Nana Akufo-Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for what he perceives as a lack of transparency regarding his stance on the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill.

President Akufo-Addo has postponed his decision on whether to sign the Bill into law, citing a pending constitutional challenge in the Supreme Court.

Nketiah, popularly known as General Mosquito, has asserted that President Akufo-Addo's reluctance to openly address the bill indicates an effort to evade taking a clear position.

He suggested that the president might be seeking to shift responsibility onto the judiciary or other parties, thereby distancing himself from potential backlash.

"The truth is that he doesn’t have the courage to say his position on the bill. That is why he wants to shift that responsibility to the judiciary or another person so he can later go and stand somewhere to say that he didn’t sign the bill.

“If he wanted to do something about the bill, he would have done it.

"He doesn’t want people to know that he is not in support of the Anti-LGBT+ Bill that is why there are some hurdles. That is the truth. If he had been able to stand his ground to say that he was not in support of the bill, his MPs would have also stood their ground to say that they were not in support," citinewsroom.com quoted him to have said in an interview on Asempa FM on March 27, 2024.
