North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has challenged to Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh (Napo) over recent claims regarding his involvement in promoting LGBTQ-related content.
Mr Ablakwa, in a fiery statement, dared Napo to produce evidence of a pro-LGBTQ curriculum that he allegedly prepared, as well as the names of pastors and imams who reportedly accompanied him to promote the LGBTQ agenda across the country.
Ablakwa dismissed the allegations as “desperate concoctions and outright falsehoods,” aimed at reviving the struggling Bawumia-Napo campaign.
He urged his followers to say a prayer for Napo, indicating that he “really needs help.”
Earlier, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, commonly known as NAPO, claimed that upon assuming office as Education Minister, he discovered that the NDC, under the leadership of Okudzeto Ablakwa, had developed a curriculum that included Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) for school children.
Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) is a curriculum-based process designed to teach and learn about the cognitive, emotional, physical, and social aspects of sexuality.
The implementation of the CSE faced several challenges varying levels of acceptance among teachers, parents, and communities, as well as concerns about the appropriateness of certain topics for young people.
The controversy surrounding CSE often centred on cultural and religious sensitivities, with some stakeholders fearing that it might introduce children to sexual content prematurely.
Dr. Prempeh further alleged that the NDC had strategically placed church leaders and Imams in various regions to influence teachers in the implementation of this curriculum.
The accusations were made during a campaign rally, in Bantama, Kumasi on Saturday, October 5, 2024. NAPO emphasised the NPP’s commitment to safeguarding the educational content delivered to Ghanaian children.
