The former National Women Organizer of the NPP was quoted to have said \u201cThat is the character of the NPP. You can ask Ursula. They hate to see women at the height of decision making. What didn\u2019t they do to Hajia Alima? And you have a Bush man like Wontumi as the Chairman of Ashanti Region spewing rubbish about a whole professor? Such a kambooo kraatchi. I am happy I left such a useless party. It\u2019s time for Change and Ghanaians must vote them out\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a statement issued by the former Minister said \u201cMy attention has been drawn to your publication captioned \u201cOtiko fires at Wontumi as \u2018bushman\u2019 for his anti-women comment\u201d. 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 caused me by this false publication\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said she was working with her lawyers to ensure that such individuals peddling the falsehood will be brought to book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

READ STATEMENT BELOW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Immediate Release
To All Media Houses
12th July 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My attention has been drawn to your publication captioned \u201cOtiko fires at Wontumi as \u2018bushman\u2019 for his anti women comment\u201d. 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 immediate retraction of the publication; and an unqualified apology to me for the embarrassment caused me by this false publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am in the meantime referring the matter to my lawyers for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
