When you say a prayer, please say one for Napo. He really needs help.
— Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa (@S_OkudzetoAblak) October 6, 2024
I challenge him to produce the pro-LGBTQ curriculum he claims I prepared.
I also challenge him to provide the names of pastors and imams who went round the country with me promoting LGBTQ.
Desperate… pic.twitter.com/c317s2i4Ks
So why does Napo lie on Imams? Which Imam in Ghana will go round championing the activities Napo claims they were engaged in? Eii Politics? I pray for the day we begin to feel the positive effect of free education. Educated minds will easily discern such folly.

These NPP people really see voters in the Ashanti Region as FOOLS.
— YKGH (@YouKnowGhana) October 7, 2024
In which other region in Ghana could NAPO make such an outrageous statement?
They did nothing for the Ashanti Region, so now they resort to threats and fear-mongering. https://t.co/fSMnxJQcMS
