According to the professor, the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill is "flawed and unconstitutional."

The Goaso Omanhene, in an interview on Hot FM, stated his disappointment in the professor's comment on the bill passage, stating, "Inform the professor that I do not wish to meet with her during any programs in Goaso. She must understand she is not welcome in Goaso, even if she has a scheduled program here. Please convey to her that Nana Goaso has expressed that she is not welcome in this area."

The traditional leader also called on the National House Chief to support the passage of the anti-LGBTQ bill into law.
