NPP should be grateful Nana Yaa Jantuah received its petition – Tanko-Computer
Deputy National Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Rashid Tanko- Computer, has criticised the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for complaining about the level of government representation that received its petition at Jubilee House, insisting the party should instead be grateful that Presidential Staffer Nana Yaa Jantuah made time to accept it.
Nana Yaa Jantuah, a presidential staffer, has announced her intention to petition Parliament’s Speaker in response to remarks made by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin. Afenyo-Markin allegedly referred to Jantuah as "a nobody" during an NPP protest at the Jubilee House, disrespecting not only her but also President John Dramani Mahama.
The incident occurred during the one-year anniversary of a helicopter crash that claimed several national figures, during which Mahama had delegated Jantuah to receive the petition and President Mahama was attending related events. According to Jantuah, the NPP delegation initially refused to present the petition as they realized she had been delegated to receive it, leading to a delay in the process.
Jantuah expressed her disappointment, stating that she perceived Afenyo-Markin as disrespectful and unjustified in his behavior, emphasizing that he should not repeat such actions in the future.
