NPP demands respect but fails to show it, especially to women – Nana Yaa Jantuah
A Presidential Staffer, Nana Yaa Akyenpim Jantuah, has accused the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) of demanding respect from others while failing to extend the same courtesy, particularly to women.
Presidential aide Nana Yaa Akyenpim Jantuah has lashed out at the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) for demanding respect while showing none, especially towards women. Her remarks come after the Minority accused the Presidency of assigning her to receive the NPP's petition following the party's demonstration at the Jubilee House on August 6.
Speaking on Asempa FM's Ekosiisen, Jantuah recounted that President John Mahama directed her to accept the petition after the Chief of Staff and other senior officials were unavailable. Upon arriving at the Jubilee House, she was surprised to see the NPP leadership protesting they couldn't hand over the petition to her. Despite witnessing their objection, Jantuah chose to remain silent, representing the President.
She criticized the NPP's conduct, asserting that their demand for respect lacked reciprocity, particularly towards women in leadership roles. The opposition's silence in challenging Minority Leader's comments, she argued, amounted to tacit agreement. Jantuah also raised doubts about the petition's authenticity, noting it was unsigned.
Despite facing backlash, she remained committed to fulfilling the task entrusted to her by the President.
