Ghana news: Namoale comes under fire over family picture

-

Hon. Nii-Amassah Namoale changed his profile picture on Facebook yesterday and replaced it with a family photo.

However, the picture has courted for him some insults from some followers and users of Facebook who think the picture does not speak well of the former Member of Parliament who has shown interest in Ghana’s presidency.

In the picture, the former MP is seen with his family. Nii is seen fondling the breast of hs wife while he smiles to show the ‘anointing’ that he has received from his wife’s boobs.

One of his followers, Michael Ohene commented: “Honourable the pic is nice but where you placed your right hand doesn’t speek well of you at all….. pls remove this pic ryt now!!!” [sic].

However, Namoale who has declared his intention to contest for the Presidency on the ticket of the NDC in 2020 says he feels no shame and refused to pull down the picture.

“She my wife and I don’t feel ashame at all. I love her I have paid for where my hand is 26 years ago,” [sic] Namoale said in response.

The former MP also garnered some support from his followers who suggested that the position of his hand was not intentional.

Mr Namoale later admitted that his pose in the photograph was not intentional.

Namoale lost the La Dadekotopon Parliamentary seat after serving three terms to the New Patriotic Party’s Vincent Sowah Odotei during the 2016 elections in December.

He polled 38,504 compared to Mr Odotei’s 40,126 votes.
