Communications Minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has threatened a legal suit against controversial musician Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly called A Plus.
The Minister has taken serious exceptions to some statements that A Plus reportedly made on his Facebook wall accusing her of being "corrupt" and further imputing to Ghanaians that "Kwesi Nyantakyi is only being sacrificed to cover up the 89/178 million dollars GVG Kelni stinking scandal".
He is also quoted to have accused Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful to be involved in "some shady deals at the Communications Ministry and NCA".
The Minister, through her Counsel "Safo and Marfo@Law", has given A Plus an ultimatum of three (3) days to "render unqualified apology in the same medium and prominence in the manner that your libelous publication was done" and retract his statements or will be dragged to court to "vindicate our client's rights without any further recourse to you".
The solicitors, in a statement copied to Peacefmonline.com, stated emphatically that the Sector Minister "has not involved herself in any corrupt or shady deal at the Communications Ministry".
"We are informed that you (A Plus) have published series of defamatory statements on Facebook about our client ostensibly to tarnish her hard won reputation and to reduce her image in the eyes of right thinking members of society...We are instructed to notify you that our client takes a serious view of your defamatory publication on Facebook and would not hesitate to commence legal action against you if the said publication is not retracted on or before Friday, 1st June, 2018.
"Please be informed that if you fail to retract and apologize to our client on or before Friday, 1st June, 2018, we shall proceed to court..." the statement read.

A Plus does not require any caution. He is old enough to know the consequences of his actions. Pls be quick and drag that boy to court.
NEVER MIND. WHATEVER GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE DENIGRATING THE GOOD OLD PROF. WHO TAUGHT YOU. (PROF. MILLS) YOU THOUGHT THIS WILL KILL EX PREZ. MAHAMA (***barred word***) IF YOU TOLD A FIRST LIE, BE PREPARED TO CONTINUE BUT IT WILL STILL CATCH UP WITH YOU. THROUGH LIES AND PROPAGANDA YOU ARE IN POWER AND YOUR OWN PEOPLE HAVE TURN THE GUNS ON YOU. GOD IS IN HEAVEN AND WE ARE WATCHING. GREAT DAY!
WHO IS A PLUS,HE IS FOOLING TOO MUCH HE MUST BE TAUGHT A LESSSON
A-Plus is just too greedy. I dislike people who are ungrateful.
A Plus for once I respect your objectivity. Not all of us have been bought ampa.Whiles they enrich themselves the majority are getting poorer.
Ursula and that Anokye guy at NCA must a lot of radio stations to be set up in the rural areas by NPP people to propagate the NPP message around the country. Eiii, Ursula, have you forgotten so soon that just before the 2016 election NDC supporters almost killed you when they chased you hrough the streets of Accra holding sticks, machetes and other weapons? You MUST do everything to keep NPP in power.
I feel A-Plus needs to be taught a lesson the hard way.
