If Afenyo-Markin made ‘nobody’ comment privately, I wouldn’t be hurt – Nana Yaa Jantuah

Presidential Staffer Nana Yaa Akyenpim Jantuah says she would not have been offended if Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin had described her as a “nobody” in a private conversation rather than making the remark publicly.

If Afenyo-Markin made ‘nobody’ comment privately, I wouldn’t be hurt – Nana Yaa Jantuah

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin sparked controversy by publicly referring to Presidential Staffer Nana Yaa Akyenpim Jantuah as a "nobody." Nana Yaa Jantuah expressed that she would not have been offended if the remark had been made privately, stating that disagreements should be handled with mutual respect. The comment, however, was made in front of journalists and members of other political parties, which amplified the offense.

Jantuah emphasized that respect is a two-way street and criticized Afenyo-Markin for failing to reciprocate. She also noted that the minority leader's comments were an attack on the President's decision to nominate her to handle the party's petition, suggesting that the focus should have been on the petition's merits rather than on Jantuah's role.
