Nana Yaa Jantuah to petition Speaker over ‘nobody’ remark by Afenyo-Markin

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.
