The leader and founder of Captain Jesus prayer ministry Prophet Isaac Ofosuhene Gyimah (Captain Jesus) has asked President Akuffo Addo to assent to the recently passed LGBTQI+ bill to bring peace to the country.
Speaking on Plan B FM’s morning show NKOSUONSEM hosted by Obidehye Kofi Sekyi, Captain Jesus said that, the majority of Ghanaians frown on the act and it is against the norms and tradition so there will be no time to waste in signing the bill into law.
He also urged some men of God in the country who are close to the President to talk to him or call him to hasten his assent to the bill into law.
” If you are a man of God and you have a good relationship with the president and you did not call to advise him to assent to the bill, God will not forgive you” he added.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) have expressed its gratitude and satisfaction following the passage of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, popularly known as the anti-gay bill, by Ghana’s Parliament.
The legislation, which criminalizes and prohibits LGBT activities, was approved on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, sparking criticism from various quarters, including prominent figures like Professor Audrey Gadzekpo, the Board Chair of the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), and the United States ambassador.
However, GPCC, in a statement commended the private sponsors of the bill, the Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, and all others who contributed to its success.
GPCC acknowledged the efforts of the Members of Parliament and the Attorney General’s office for their contributions and critiques, which enriched the content of the bill. They also recognized the efforts of the Right Honourable Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, for his commitment to ensuring the bill’s passage.
They emphasized the importance of upholding Ghana’s unique cultural and family values and urged the President to give assent to the bill to complete the process of making it law in the country.
As a Faith-Based Organization, the GPCC thanked everyone who contributed to the passage of the bill and expressed their solidarity with other religious bodies in celebrating this achievement.
They believe that the bill will help to uphold the values that are important to the people of Ghana.
