Angry Women Finger Adenta MP …Apologize Or Lose Your Seat!

A women group calling itself Gratia Women of Substance Network, has given the NPP Communications Director, Yaw Buaben Asamoa a 48-hour ultimatum to retract his comments against Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang or face their wrath.

The group vowed that it would rally against him in the upcoming December polls if he does not take his comments back.

The women group alleged that the NPP chastises women who are appointed to high positions, tagging them as ‘prostitutes’.

The Adenta MP at a press conference on Monday after the announcement of the NDC running mate said former President John Mahama does not take Ghanaians serious with his selection of the Professor.

“We can only conclude that the choice of Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyeman by Mr John Dramani Mahama is a clear indication that he does not take the Ghanaian electorate seriously,” the MP said among other things.

The group says his attack was an attack on all women in the country and he must apologize.

An executive of the group Hetty Ken said “I don’t know whether it’s a track record of the NPP, anytime a woman is appointed, they have a name to call that woman. Either she is a prostitute, she has used her womanhood to get the position, and this is so absurd, it’s becoming unbecoming. We want to put an end to it.”

“This woman is a very intelligent woman and who would say she has used her womanhood for this position; nobody. So we are telling him, within 48-hours he must come out and apologize to Professor or else what will happen on December 7th he will see it.”

When quizzed about what the repercussion would be if the Adenta MP did not meet their ultimatum, she said “oh he will lose his seat. I am throwing a challenge to the NPP that for Adenta seat he will lose it and that is minus one from their members of parliament.”

The group congratulated Mr Mahama, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang and the NDC for their choice of running mate.

Meanwhile, Former Attorney General Betty Mould Iddrisu says the Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party must apologise for his attacks on the NDC running mate.

She stated that the attack on the academician is an insult to all women and must be retracted.

“I’m sorry for NPP but they can’t say what they said about her. And for Yaw Buaben Asamoa to have said picking her means John Mahama is not serious, I didn’t think Buaben to be not engendered so I’m astonished by what he said.

“He needs to retract that statement and apologise to Ghanaian women. For suggesting Mahama is not serious for taking Naana as running mate. That comment is not just insulting but disrespectful to all Ghanaian women”.

Former Central Regional Minister Ama Benyiwaa Doe has expressed her support for the Prof. Naana slamming critics including the NPP who have immediately launched attacks on the track-record of the educationist saying they simply do not have a reply for her.
