This comes after President Nana Akufo-Addo boldly proclaimed that same-s£x marriage will never be legalised in his tenure.
Speaking at St. Micheal and All Angels Cathedral in Asante Mampong during the installation of the Second Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Ghana, the President said he won’t legalize same-s£x marriage in the country.
“I have said it before, and let me stress it again, that it will not be under the Presidency of Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo that same-s£x marriage will be legal,” he said
