In response to a social media user about his opinion on the visit of Nigerian cross-dresser, Bobrisky, Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam Nartey George noted that, Ghanaians are known for their hospitality but we have laws that are expected to be adhered to.
“Dear Sam, I have heard that Bobrisky wants to visit Ghana and he is an influencer. If we can remove signboards, that means we can also stop planes from landing,†the social media user asked.
Replying to the comment, Sam George said, he has no problem with Bobrisky visiting Ghana but he, however, will expect the cross-dresser to adhere to the laws of Ghana while in the country.
“Barnabas, we are a hospitable people, however, you must respect our laws, culture, and norms whilst here. When he gets here, he should endeavor to comply. O for Oshe bhaddest,†he reacted.
On June 10, 2022, the LGBTQ+ community mounted a billboard that was pulled down by authorities.
In a post shared on social media, Sam George applauded the authorities for the swift response with which they had tended to the pulling down of the billboards and addressing their concerns.
He observed that the country is operated by laws and thus will fight to protect its cultural sovereignty.
“Information reaching me is that the obnoxious LGBTQI+ billboard has been removed this evening after our press engagement today.
“We salute the authorities for their swift response. We are a country of laws and would fight till the end to protect our cultural sovereignty,†Sam George tweeted.
