Rev John Ntim Fordjour, the Member of Parliament for Assin South, has fired back at Kwakye Ofosu, the Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, after he labelled him as “overzealous” and prone to getting “carried away” in his advocacy work.
According to Ntim Fordjour, the Mahama government have been caught red-handed trying to smuggled LGBTQ agenda into the curriculum, but they are now insulting them for asking questions.
He highlighted that Felix Kwakye Ofosu is displaying “arrogance of power.”
The back and forth between the two MPs follows, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, who accused the John Mahama-led NDC government of mischievously and deliberately smuggled LGBTQ agenda into the curriculum.
In a post on his official X page on Tuesday, January 13, Rev Ntim Fordjour accused the government of printing and distributing teacher manuals and other teaching and learning materials (TLMs) that promote LGBTQ-related content in schools.
Speaking in a TV3 interview on January 14, 2026, Ntim Fordjour stated, “That is most arrogant. You have voted to come to power, and the parents who voted for you, whose child you have introduced LGBT elements into their teaching and learning materials, teacher manuals… you are poisoning their minds”.
“They are being taught that they can have sexual pleasures and feelings very absurd, and gender should no longer be about male or female, and it’s about whatever they feel, and they can even feel both,” he claimed.
He added, “We have caught you red-handed and asking you to do the right thing. You are insulting us that we have been overzealous and we are being carried away”.
“The millions of parents who voted for you, whose children are in these secondary schools, whose taxpayers’ money they used to pay you, you are using the taxpayers’ money to pay yourself and to print textbooks that are LGBT-laced and poisoned,” he alleged.
Ntim Fordjour further stated, “You have admitted you are going to find a way to remove it, and you are telling these parents that they’re overzealous and they are carried away. That is the arrogance of power. This is the most arrogant height that a government can ever express. Whatever they teach them in school is dangerous to remove it because if you’re a parent, what you tell your children pretty much will be compared with what their teachers tell them. It doesn’t matter whatever you preach your congregation… What they are taught in school carries greater weight,” he added.
Ntim Fordjour’s remarks come on the heels of Kwakye Ofosu, who fired him for being overzealous and prone to getting carried away in his advocacy.
The Minister highlighted that the Government of Ghana is not about to promote anything that is at variance with Ghanaian culture in the school curriculum.
Speaking during the Government Accountability Series on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, Kwakye Ofosu, “Reverend Ntim Fordjour is a good friend of mine. He’s my neighbour. When you move out of AAK [Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese], you go into his constituency, so I have quite healthy relations with him, but I think that sometimes he gets carried away in his advocacy. I have a friend who describes that conduct as overzealous charlatanism,” he said.
“He was in government when the comprehensive education curricula were introduced, and we had similar happenings where there were things in there that we found distasteful and at variance with Ghanaian cultural norms and practices,” he said.
Kwakye Ofosu indicated, “There was some public outcry, and I think that curricula were withdrawn even before Rev Ntim Fordjour went out to make these claims”.
“The NaCCA itself had withdrawn about 700 or so copies of the manual. It’s an instruction manual for teachers of physical education and health in Senior High Schools. I think there’s just one line about the description of gender which proved problematic and offensive to the sensibilities of the people of Ghana,” he said.
Kwakye Ofosu added, “That has subsequently been withdrawn. Indeed, I have been sent a copy of the approved manual by NACCA, and it does not contain the offending works. So, that matter has been addressed.”
“Government certainly is not about to promote anything that is at variance with Ghanaian culture. So, whereas we welcome scrutiny, it’s important that such claims are toned down. It is not something that we should encourage. It is not necessary to attempt to put what is not there in place. It doesn’t help anybody”.
“Clearly, this would be a slip or that somebody was not paying too much attention, but it is not government policy to promote conduct that is at variance with Ghanaian culture, and that is NaCCA has taken remedial action, and the matter stands resolved,” he stated.
