Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa, popularly known as Afia Schwarzenegger, has criticised some communicators of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over what she describes as irresponsible propaganda in the ongoing public debate surrounding the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, commonly referred to as the anti-LGBTQ+ bill.
According to Afia Schwarzenegger, the conduct of some party communicators in their campaign efforts is inappropriate and does not reflect the respect due to national leadership.

She argued that it was wrong for individuals affiliated with a major political party, such as the NPP, to circulate or recreate images of the president in colours associated with the LGBTQ+ community, describing the act as irresponsible and condemnable.
Her comments come in the wake of the arrest of two individuals alleged to be involved in the creation and circulation of images depicting President John Mahama in such representations.
The images have sparked widespread public condemnation and renewed calls for accountability.
Afia Schwarzenegger further stated that political communication must be handled with caution, especially when dealing with sensitive national issues, to avoid undermining the image of the country’s leadership.

She advised members of the NPP to emulate the discipline and conduct of the party’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, urging communicators to act responsibly to protect the party’s reputation and avoid unnecessary controversy.
Her remarks have since generated conversation on social media, with users sharing mixed reactions to both the incident and her response.
