Accra: Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has become the focus of heated discussions on X following the resurfacing of a series of old videos linked to his strong stance on the LGBTQI+ bill. Known for his advocacy of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, Sam George has consistently expressed his commitment to the legislation, making bold promises about its passage.
According to Ghana Web, several videos circulating on X, dated March 31, 2026, show Sam George reaffirming his dedication to the bill and criticizing the Akufo-Addo administration for not passing it. In one prominent clip, he insists that the John Mahama-led government would 'know no peace' until the bill becomes law. These videos have reignited discussions, especially after President John Dramani Mahama highlighted Ghana's ongoing challenges, such as education and healthcare, in a meeting with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) on March 30, 2026.
In response to President Mahama's remarks, netizens have criticized Sam George on social media, accusing him of failing to deliver on his promises to Ghanaians. Some users suggest that his past criticisms of the NPP government were merely political maneuvering. However, Sam George has addressed the backlash in a post, describing it as an 'agenda' by some individuals. He emphasized his loyalty to his political party and expressed little concern over the online criticism.
Sam George stated, "Today, I see old videos being sliced and reposted to push an agenda. I smile and say, 'I have paid my dues.' You may think you are cooking, but with each video you post, you reveal the stripes on my shoulders as I fought to bring my party, the NDC, back to power. I stood for something I believed in, the return of JM." His response has further fueled reactions and discussions across social media platforms.
