A National Democratic Congress (NDC) communicator has called on President Akufo-Addo to sack Madam Otiko Afisa Djaba as Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection following her public face off with the Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu.
According Agbesi Nutsu, the Minister lacked the temperament for the job and therefore should be shown the exit.
“Otiko Djaba must be sacked the same way Victoria was sacked when she erred. If Nana Addo fails to sack her, then it means he condones such act” he said.
The two leading members of the governing NPP are at each other’s throat accusing each other of disrespect.
An incensed Naabu led a team of raucous women to vandalise properties at a venue being used by the Gender Minister for a meeting on Friday in Tamale.
He alleged the Gender Minister failed to inform him of her presence in the region, amounting to disrespect hence his action.
Mr. Naabu also claimed the minister was in the region to give certain appointments to some people against his choice.
The development has not gone down well with Ms. Djaba who is accusing her regional chairman of taking bribes from people under the guise of giving them appointments.
“I don’t know why Chairman Bugri wants to lie and use me as a cover-up for his problems. I want Chairman Bugri to understand. Whatever it is that is making him do the things he is doing; he should be very careful. I am the last person he wants to have trouble with,” Ms. Djaba, who doubles as the National Women Organizer of the NPP told North Star Radio.
Though Madam Otiko Djaba has since rendered an apology to President Akufo-Addo and Ghanaians over her outburst with the NPP Northern regional chairman, Mr Agbesi Nutsu believes the development has only brought governance into disrepute.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Morning Show “Dwaso Nsem” Wednesday, the NDC communicator pleaded with the President to also take action against Mr Bugri Naabu.
