Ghanaian socialite Sister Debby and NDC National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah
Ghanaian socialite, Debora Vanessa popularly known as Sister Debby, has expressed dissatisfaction with the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, following a recent comment he made regarding the legalisation of the anti-LGBTQ bill.
In a post shared on X on November 13, 2024, Sister Debby labelled Asiedu Nketiah a hypocrite for criticising Akufo-Addo’s refusal to sign the bill brought before him.
To support her claim that Asiedu Nketiah is a hypocrite, Sister Debby pointed to a past incident during his 2015 visit to Germany, where he wore a women’s fur coat on an official trip.
She argued that Asiedu Nketiah wore women’s clothing on that occasion, but now thinks he has the moral right to condemn LGBTQ+ activities.
“A Ghanaian man who in 2015 wore a women’s coat during an official visit to Germany wants an anti-LGBTQ bill that will jail people for cross-dressing to become law. Hypocrisy!” she posted on X.
Background
Asiedu Nketiah recently criticised Akufo-Addo at an NDC campaign rally in Kumasi, accusing him of hesitating to sign the anti-LGBTQI bill.
The NDC National Chairman stated that religious leaders in Ghana, including Muslims, have expressed strong opposition to homosexuality, and that the NDC had introduced the anti-LGBTQ bill to address this issue.
“The NDC has shown its disapproval of homosexuality in the country, which is why we introduced a bill against it. Even Muslims and other religious leaders are fighting against LGBTQ. But Akufo-Addo has refused to sign the bill,” he said.
Three years ago, some members of parliament led by Ningo-Prampram MP, Sam George, introduced the anti-LGBTQ+ bill which after several back and forths did not get the needed approval from President Akufo-Addo.
Meanwhile, the bill is currently under contention as it has been forwarded to the Supreme Court for further deliberations.
