National Women’s Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Hannah Louisa Bissiw has descended heavily on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over his controversial comments about Ghanaian women when he addressed a forum in Canada.
To her, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has embarrassed Ghanaian women globally with the comments he made during the ‘Women Deliver Conference’ in Canada.
She, therefore, wants President Akufo-Addo to immediately apologise to Ghanaian women for his comment which is seen by some as disregarding women. “Our President’s comments have damaged the old-age struggle for female empowerment in Ghana. Such comments from President Akufo-Addo could kill the spirit and soul of gender empowerment activism.
“Women in this country are very disappointed in him, even in his government, he appointed a lot of women. Then that appointment means nothing to him as a President which is why he made such a disgraceful comment,” she cried.
The President in his contribution at the Conference in Canada, said he is yet to see dynamism in Ghanaian women.
“We are not seeing enough dynamism and activism on the part of those who are seeking. I am talking about dynamism where it matters…electing people to Parliament, controlling political parties because they are the instruments by which our societies make decisions,” he said.
The President’s comments have been heavily criticised by some Ghanaian women.

Hannah, did you not vote for a man, Late Atta Mills when Konadu Rawlings contested him for the NDC Presidential primaries, you do not understand the president.
NANA ADDO, THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA, SPOKE VERY, VERY WELL. INDEED HE WAS SPEAKING IN THE CONTEXT OF THE AFRICAN, AND VERY WELL SO, THE GHANAIAN WOMAN. HOW MANY WOMEN IN GHANA SHOW UP TO HIGHER LEVELS. THE WOMEN IN AFRICA STILL FEEL THEY BELONG ONLY TO THE KITCHEN. THE AFRICAN WOMAN FEELS WHAT SHE NEEDS IS A GOOD HUSBAND AND CHILDREN - TRUE OR FALSE? WHEN WE SPEAK THE TRUTH THE NONE-ENTITIES (THE NDC) MAKE UNNECESSARY POLITICS OF IT. WHAT IS INDEED WRONG WITH THE TRUTH THAT THE PRESIDENT, NANA AKUFO ADDO SAID? THE PRESIDENT IS A GHANAIAN, AND FOR THAT MATTER AFRICAN, BUT NOT ARAB FEMINIST, OR FROM EUROPE, OR AMERICA, WHO WOULD NOT CARE IF THEY AS WOMEN WERE MARRIED OR NOT, OR HAVE CHILDREN OR NOT.
I have always said ndc is full of agyimifour they hardly make sense, what at all did akuffo addo say wrong their desperation will sink them deep in opposition am sure their party is seriously cursed
Did a human male actually marry this thing? This is the same bit*ch who made those sil*ly claims that the medical drones were meant to take photos of naked women in the bath. She is also on record to have described the president as a "se*xy old f0*0l". If such a character is the women's organizer for a political party, what good can you expect from them? If propaganda and insults could win elections, the NDC's comfortable lead would have been real.
My Predecessors have said it all this Hannah Bissiw woman does not understand simple english and just wanted to show Ghanaian media her Twa wo awaamu kaba style otherwise she came to disgrace herself and the propaganda and kidnapping NDC Party
Doc let the president be. He said he is not seeing enough from the women and you know this president sleeps a lot. A lot of rot in his govt yet he can't see.
How NDC progress with somebody like Hanan Bissiw as a women's leader?.You donated beds and when you loosed as mp you went and retrieve all. Do you know how many women were affected by your singular action? Wise up.
This hog never ceases to embarrass herself and his incompetent and corrupt party,what the president said is absolutely true.This ***barred word*** lady is too ***barred word*** and dirty in her words.
I don't know people don't want the truth or they don't understand English, please give us a break, the president hit the nail right at the neck
An idle group of women who don't have anything to do than to try unsuccessfully to please their disillusioned members into thinking that they are working hard for the beloved NDC. What should the president apologize for? That women in this country are not dynamic and active enough to push themselves into politics where major decisions are taken? Is it not true? And you are here making baseless noise. If you don't understand English shut your beak and allow is to think. Empty barrel!
