Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah says he will lead thousands of his congregants on a nationwide demonstration if Western pressure on the government to legalise Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) rights in Ghana continues.

He believes the attempts to get Ghana and other African countries to embrace same-sex marriages are part of a bigger scheme to dominate the continent.

“The call to legalise homosexuality, LGBT, by some leaders of the Western world must be seen as neo-colonialism and must be condemned at the highest level. We do not accept this as an aspect of civilisation,” he said.

He was speaking at the church's 43rd General Council Meeting held on Wednesday, May 2, 2018.

“We do not accept this as an aspect of civilisation. Africans must see ourselves as people who are matured and know what is good for us and our people.
