Former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Otiko Afisa Djaba has denied details making rounds on different social media platforms that she has attacked the NPP and a few stalwarts for throwing jabs at Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang.
The former National Women Organizer of the NPP was quoted to have said “That is the character of the NPP. You can ask Ursula. They hate to see ladies at the peak of decision making. What didn’t they do to Hajia Alima? And you have got a Bush man like Wontumi as the Chairman of Ashanti Region spewing rubbish a whole professor? Such a kambooo kraatchi. I am happy i left such a useless party. It’s time for Change and Ghanaians ought to vote them out”.
But a declaration issued by the former Minister stated “My attention has been drawn to your publication captioned “Otiko fires at Wontumi as ‘bushman’ for his anti-women comment”. Let me place on record that I have not published, spoken or issued any such statement about Mr Wontumi or the NPP as attributed to me. I demand an immediate retraction of the publication; and an unqualified apology to me for the embarrassment triggered me by this fake publication”.
She stated she was working together with her attorneys to ensure that such people peddling the falsehood will be brought to book.
