The Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Ms Otiko Afisa Djaba has apologised over the clash she had with the Northern regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Daniel Bugri Naabu.
There was confusion at a meeting called by Ms Djaba in Tamale on Friday to introduce a new northern regional coordinator of the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP). Ms Djaba had gathered caterers and women organisers in NPP to introduce the new coordinator to them but Mr Bugri Naabu stormed the meeting and disrupted it, arguing that he was not informed.
Subsequently, the two leading members of the NPP traded accusations and insults. At a meeting with President Akufo-Addo at the Flagstaff House in Accra on Tuesday, Ms Djaba reportedly rendered an unqualified apology to President Akufo-Addo over her conduct in the matter.
Appearing on The Pulse television programme on Joy News Tuesday afternoon, Ms Djaba revealed that she apologised to President Akufo-Addo when they met earlier in the day.
She subsequently apologised to Ghanaians for her conduct and said the leadership of the New Patriotic Party would meet on the matter.
Meanwhile, the Deputy General Secretary of the NPP, Nana Obiri Boahen has confirmed the NPP would meet on Wednesday evening at Alisa Hotel in Accra and also on the agenda would be the feud between Otiko and Bugri Naabu.

Sister Otiko must learn from hon Ursla Owusu. Hon Ursla stated that she is now a "New woman". She demonstrated this through her speech and even actions when she appeared before the Vetting Committee. James 4:10 admonishes us to HUMBLE ourselves in the sight of the Lord. My sister, Humility will lift you up, but pride and arrogance will bring you down. Are there no lessons you can learn from arrogant and proud former government appointees popularly referred to as "Babies with sharp teeth"? Please tone down. Nothing last forever. The Hon. position you are occupying is temporal and is just by Grace. Your late Dad is highly respected for his humility and excellent human relations. try to emulate him. a word to a wise...........
OTKO SHOULD HAVE INFORMED MR NAABU, THE BRAVE MAN WHO REJECTED NDC'S MOUTH-WATERING BRIBES, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, SINCE SOME NORTHERN GHANAIAN MEN LOOK DOWN ON WOMEN, MR NAABU'S REACTION WAS TOO WILD HENCE THE BRUHAHA. LET'S CONSIDER OUR FRIENDS GEO-ETNIC BACKGROUDS IN ALL OUR DEALINGS.
I think Nana Akuffo Addo must sack this arrogant woman NOW to send a very strong warning to all appointees that the NPP was given the mandate by Ghanaians to work hard in order to improve the lives of Ghanaians. These arrogant posture exhibited by Otiko can lead the NPP back to opposition in 2020. She must be sacked NOW, NOW NOW and NOW. I hear she does not respect staff in her office as well. Relieve her of her position.
These northerner fight over everything. From guinea fowl to goat head to pig feet and cow butt. Why are they even in the political space in Ghana. These people must be barred from politics until they get their act together. Anyone wondering why Ghana is so bankrupt? Because you get what you deserve when you vote for incompetent people to rule over a nation. These people cannot even manage themselves. So how the hell do Ghanaians go for people like Mahama, Ayariga, Haruna and muntaka. These guys have never worked in their lives before other than to lick paycheck from poor tax payers. It is about time we asked every norther to go back to where they belong.
From her demeanor and utterances, i knew from the one that she is not cut for a ministerial position. Should a women's organizer necessary be made a minister for gender affairs. She does not have it!
Must step down. Apology with no substance. Ghanaians need an apology as well & then must step down. A disgrace to the women she is REPRESENTING in parliament. Carry yourself well when you enter parliament no matter what.
You Ppl YOU ARE DISGRACING THE Party ooo......solving this simple problem too, Alisa hotel? eei. Where is the party office?
Does that purge her of the murder allegations?
Nana Akufo Addo, please fire Otiko. She will make you unpopular ank kill your vision. This woman has a "kill and pray" attitude. She is incorrigible.
...lets make peace and then we enjoy the love.
