Ghanaian social media influencer and lawyer-in-waiting, Elorm Ama Ababio, known popularly as Ama Governor, has publicly restated her queer sexual identity.
Ama governor, in an interview with Joy News on September 23, 2023, during the #OccupyJulorbiHouse demonstration in Accra, emphasized that her sexual orientation has no bearing on her qualifications to practise law.
elorm, who was previously denied access to the bar due to a petition filed against her, disclosed that she has emerged victorious in the case and is set to be called to the bar in October 2023.

She explained that the petition, which led to her initial denial, included allegations that were later found to be unsubstantiated.
On her delayed call to the bar, she said: “…because a concerned citizen petitioned that I was not fit to be called to the bar, they gave two fallacious grounds and one insufficient ground, which all got thrown out, and basically, I won in conclusion.
“First of all, like as I said, the person stated fallacious grounds, they were lies, like outright fabrications.”
She added “And the last one is the fact of my sexuality that I sleep with women. I said that is not a lie; I do sleep with women, that is a fact. But it is not grounds for me to not be called to the bar, and that is it.
“My sexuality, I am queer, I am pansexual; yes, I sleep with women, but it is not a ground upon which you can say I am not fit to be called unto the bar, and that was our defense, and we won.”
