Former Member of Parliament for Asokwa, Maxwell Kofi Jumah has rendered an unqualified apology to the Coalition of Concerned Teacher (CCT) over his comments in response to an ultimatum to the president-elect for the restoration of teacher trainee allowances.
The Former Deputy Local Government Minister and Rural Development described as ridiculous the call by the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) on president-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to restore teacher trainee allowances within its first 100 days in office.
Reacting to the coalition’s call, Mr Jumah said it was unfair on their part to give the incoming NPP an ultimatum.
“Nana Akufo-Addo made a promise and it spans for four years. But to put a gun to his head and give him an ultimatum of 100 days, that is what is ridiculous. If they know how to give ultimatums, I think that they should redirect their ultimatum to the previous government,” he stated.
But after being tongue-lashed for his comments, Mr Jumah claimed he was caught off guard while granting the interview and should therefore be pardoned.
He shared his apology on his official facebook wall.
“My friends, thanks for your advice and direction. It was never my intention to attack teachers as a whole. Indeed I am very much aware of the overwhelming support that the NPP got from teachers. I went overboard and I sincerely apologize for that. I was caught off guard. And it was very unfortunate. I sincerely believe Nana will deliver on his promise to our teachers and to Ghanaians. Once again accept my apologies”

Kofi you talk toooooooo much
Mr Kofi Judah, At your age now, you should always talk like a responsible person. You are too by heart.
ITS ABOUT TIME YOU GROW UP MR JUMAH
He want post, is not that?I want every Ghanaian not Asantes because Asantes if you put a dog and called it NPP they will vote for that dog, so they should sing my national Anthem. My national is below and I want every Ghanaian except Asantes to sing: we are waiting for my $1 million for K.E.E.A, my free school, my dam for my Village, free healthcare, free house, free free wife if possible, my factory for my Village. However, did UP/NPP got somebody for the thank you service to Atoa Niama or not? or they used that Fante guy who die in a hotel for the thank you service or not?
Kofi Jump said the truth because people are using these ultimatums to stampede Nana Addo. Here we are due to political expediency Kofi Jump is begging for saying the truth..... Hmmmmmm
The Kofi jumahs, adoma Kofi baafis, hopeson adoyes, aboronyes, gabby Darko must be contained, they are too full of themselves. I sincerely believe In or out the NPP will not fall down. Sick of carbon copies of babies with sharp teeth.
Kofi I have told you to stop the Akpeteshie so that you can easily hold your thoughts.
I think you should grow, Mr Juma, when it comes to what you say and how you say them.
What is the meaning of this Kofi? This is the kind of attitude we don't need at all. If you can f**king speak well, i suggest you f**king keep quite. Didn't you see how Ghanaian were complaining about the way NDC guys were talking? I hope Nana Addo doesn't not put you in charge of any sensitivity area for you have a chance to even talk. We have to from NDC's mistake and not to begin one of the key issues that brought them this humiliating defeat. Kofi, be careful pls.
