Ghanaian transgender Angel Maxine has broken her silence following a demand letter from lawyers representing Assin South Member of Parliament, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour.

Recently, Angel Maxine, in videos posted on her social media platforms, accused the MP of being in a relationship with her.

The allegations sparked massive reactions and backlash against the MP, who did not take them lightly.

However, in an aftermath statement released on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, Maxine has explained that the videos were not acts of malice but a deliberate demonstration of how the Bill’s provisions could be weaponised against ordinary people.

Although she did not confirm or deny if the claims were true, she explained that her decision to publicly identify the lawmaker as her lover was a deliberate act of protest designed to expose the real-world dangers of Ghana's anti-gay legislation.

"In demonstrating the risk of such an expansive criminal law, I mentioned Ntim Fordjour as my lover. My purpose was to press the point that false reporting, public suspicion, and the mob-like justice that animates the Bill put everyone at risk," she stated.

Angel Maxine described the Bill, which she said Ntim Fordjour and other MPs reintroduced into Parliament this year, as one sponsored and encouraged by Western evangelical interests.

She took particular issue with provisions that criminalise expressions of affection, choice of clothing, freedom of expression, and advocacy by queer people, as well as a clause that imposes a duty on parents, friends, neighbours, and citizens to report people they suspect of being queer, including their own children.

She argued that it creates an environment of repression, social stigma, hate, and risk of violence against Ghana's minority queer community.

"The Bill is one of the most regressive legislative instruments placed before our Parliament. Its effect is to dehumanize queer people and make their ordinary lives a matter for criminal suspicion," she said.

Angel Maxine said the MP’s reaction to being named in her videos proved her point.

"The statement by Ntim Fordjour's lawyers, raising concerns about his reputation, illustrates the very danger the Bill poses. If a public allegation can cause this level of concern to a Member of Parliament with visibility, influence and access to lawyers, then one must imagine what the same culture of suspicion will do to ordinary queer people who have no protection," she wrote.

Rather than backing down, Angel Maxine extended an olive branch to the MP, inviting him to a conversation.

"I invite Hon. Ntim Fordjour to use this moment for reflection. I also invite him to an open conversation, one that may create room for understanding, and for a deeper appreciation of love, dignity and respect for one's neighbor, even when people love differently," she said.

She also confirmed that she has instructed her lawyers to formally respond to the demand letter.
