The Deputy Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Malik Basintale, has made a controversial claim suggesting that the Akufo-Addo family played a role in introducing homosexuality to Ghana.
Basintale stated that Paul Danquah, who is said to be Akufo-Addo’s cousin and the son of the esteemed J.B. Danquah was internationally known for his homosexuality.
According to Basintale, Danquah was married to a British man named Peter Pollock, and the couple openly displayed their queer lifestyle around the world.
Basintale argued that this is evidence of the Addo-Danquah family not only introducing homosexuality to Africa but also influencing its global presence.
“In the whole world, Nana Addo’s family began the homosexuality trend. There is an individual called Paul Danquah he is a part of Akufo Addo’s family, the first to be identified as gay, he married a guy called Peter Pollock and was suspended from UK as a result of their open relationship to Australia, you can research to find out ,” Malik Basintale stated.
Paul Danquah, born Joseph Paul Walcott (25 May 1925 – 13 August 2015), was a British film actor, known particularly for his role in the film ‘A Taste of Honey’ (1961), adapted from the 1958 play of the same name written by Shelagh Delaney.
He later became a barrister and a bank consultant.
His father was the Ghanaian statesman J. B. Danquah.
