Anita De Sosoo, former National Women’s Organiser for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has on behalf of Otiko Afisa Djaba, Minister-designate of Gender, Children and Social Protection, apologised to all Ghanaians and former president John Dramani Mahama over some comments she made about him during the electioneering period.
Her decision to apologise on Ms Djaba’s behalf follows the NPP National Women Organiser’s failure to apologise to the former president during her vetting by the Appointments Committee of parliament on Monday January 30.
Ms Djaba said: “I don’t owe him (Mr Mahama) or you (Alhassan Suhuyini) any apology…,” in response to the Tamale North MP’s question during her vetting on Monday, 30 January, about whether she would apologise to the ex-president on whom she used those words during the electioneering period ahead of the 7 December 2016 elections.
“My comment about he being an embarrassment was in relation to SADA. It was in relation to SADA that I said he had embarrassed Northerners and the Northern chiefs themselves had come to say same,” Ms Djaba justified, explaining: “When I talked about his wickedness, the people of Ghana were asking for reductions, they were asking for ‘dumsor’ to be solved, people were losing jobs and so forth … what I said was within the context of that period.” But speaking in an interview with Chief Jerry Forson, host of Ghana Yensom, on Accra100.5FM on Tuesday January 31, Ms De Sosoo said: “If you are wrong and several people are calling on you to apologise, out of respect you should do that, but I was very sad with the posture of Otiko Djaba during her vetting.”
“Those comments she made about former president Mahama, that he was an embarrassment to Ghanaians and so on, were below the belt, which she should have apologised for. “Nonetheless, I am standing on my sister’s behalf to apologise to all Ghanaians. If you want to be a leader, you don’t lord over anybody; you need to be submissive to all persons.”

See this ***barred word*** woman skin bleaching shame of a thing had your party not come to power you would still be an shs leaver B-O-M-B-O-C-L-A-K MA-LA-FA-KA. YOU THEN YOUR JDM ALL. OTIKO NO BE YOUR SIZE
Both Anita desoso and former president mahama are an embarassment and a disgrace to this nation.anita must apologise with immediate effect for defending mahama.
Anita, Practice humility at home. Advice your NDC men and women who have no respect. There is a difference between confidence and arrogance. You are an illiterate and will not understand.
I don't think you're Ghanaian. No. It can never be. I'm sure you're Nigerian with all your spelling mistakes and bad grammar! You don't have respect for the computer that you're sitting on, typing with misguided glee!
O.kw.asia like you De Sooso, what didn't you say about NANA ADDO when you wanted power. Just as you people smeared NANA, Otiko has every right to do same. Madam Cambodian face
I don,t think Otiko is a Ghananian and for that matter a Northerner. She Just don,t have respect for elderly.She is not well socialized and nurtured. No, she is not a Ghanaian.
The woman defended her stance very well and to the extent that she even, said saying it "in the context at the time" which is the truth of the matter at the time. My problem was why they should even bring this apology thing at all at this time. The only exception, I do have is for all of us to restrain ourselves when commenting on our so called opponents, though I know sometimes it can be disheartening. I remember somebody making a nasty statement that 'short men cannot rule Ghana". The person who made that statement at the time not only a parliamentarian but a Minister of State. What is Parliament doing about that individual because the Short Man is now the President. But fellow Ghanaians let us find a way to restrain ourselves especially when it comes to the "PRESIDENCY" as a position of the highest order in the country and anybody who had, is, will occupy that position must be given the due RESPECT AND RECOGNITION, irrespective. Let us eschew anger and pursue matured democracy as we evolve as a NATION.
Your face has puffed up from bleaching cream and the sun has baked it to disgusting perfection and after insulting Ghanaians with the worst president in its history you're apologizing on another persons behalf?!? Who sent you? I support Otiko 10000000%! And to the person calling himself KK: Has Otikos ex husband complained to you? So you know why they divorced? People grow apart, they develop various interests! Divorce isn't always about quarreling or insubordination . She's her own woman. She's confident and doesn't have to jump into people's beds and wreck other people's marriages like Anita! You kraaaaaa KK are you married! I don't think so! I don't think any woman wants to be with someone like you! Lol
The day Anita will step in town with her facial makeup washed, cats and even chicken will run for cover.
this woman should start respecting herself. has she apologized to nana Addo on her party's behalf. see the way ndc tried dragging our president's name in the mud. have u asked anyone to apologise to our president...such ***barred word***...you don't respect our president but you expect us to give respect to the ex president. please give us a break. this ndc party are hypocrites to the highest degree. any ***barred word*** word that comes out from their leaders' mouth then their followers also support them
