I Will Still Fight ‘Trumu Trumu’- Sam George Reacts To His Throwback Video
Sam George, undeterred by a throwback video that contradicts his strong campaign to criminalize the LGBTQ+ community in Ghana, remains steadfast in his pursuit to pass the bill in Parliament.
In his words, despite the efforts of certain individuals, particularly lawmakers from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), he stands firm in his resolve. He clarifies that the video was recorded in 2015/16, during a discussion on homosexuality. Sam George questions whether it is a lack of comprehension, deliberate mischief, or both for anyone to suggest that his current views have not evolved.
During that time, he emphasizes, there was no advocacy office established in Ghana, no attempts to influence Ghanaian children, and certainly no one advocating for LGBTQ+ rights to be recognized in the country.
Given the present circumstances and his unwavering stance on the issue, Sam George wonders why some individuals are attempting to discredit him. He took to Twitter to say:
I have seen a lot of NPP folks running around with a video from 2015/16 where I am speaking on the subject of homosexuality.
I wonder if it is a lack of understanding, intentional mischief or both for anyone to say that I cannot hold my current views. In 2015/16, there was no advocacy office opened in Ghana, no one was seeking to groom our kids and certainly no one was making a case for their rights to be recognised in Ghana. Today, the onslaught is on and I have made my stance on the matter known, unapologetically. So what is the brouhaha?
Are these NPP folks saying they think we should allow homosexuality in its current onslaught to go unchecked? I thought they said they support the Bill?
Why are they so desperate to find something wrong somewhere? I would continue my advocacy with vigour and zest because I believe in the course I am sponsoring. We would #PassTheBill and fight trumu trumu. Nothing and no one would stand in our way. On GOD! 🦁🇬🇭🔥
