Renowned musician Mr. Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A-plus, has voiced skepticism over Ghana‘s ability to pass the anti-LGBTQ+ bill recently approved by parliament.
A-plus contends that President Akufo-Addo is unlikely to assent to the bill, citing Ghana’s reliance on foreign aid as a significant impediment to true independence.
During a recent interview, A-plus emphasised that Ghana’s dependence on financial assistance from first-world countries compromises its autonomy.
He argued that until Ghana develops robust domestic policies, the West will continue to exert influence and dominance over the nation.
“Akufo-Addo cannot assent to the bill due to Ghana’s dependence on foreign aid. Without financial support from the international community, Ghana struggles to achieve true independence,” asserted A-plus.
The musician’s remarks underscore a broader concern about the impact of external influences on Ghana’s legislative decisions.
A-plus maintained that the Western culture would persist in shaping Ghana’s policies unless the country takes decisive steps towards self-sufficiency.
In conclusion, A-plus delivered a stark prediction, asserting, “Whether Ghana likes it or not, the anti-LGBTQ+ bill would not be passed. We are bound to accept Western culture as long as we remain dependent on foreign aid.”
As discussions surrounding the bill intensify, A-plus’s perspective adds a unique dimension to the discourse, highlighting the complex interplay between national autonomy and international support.
