Deputy Chief of Staff, Samuel Abu Jinapor incurred the rage of Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa Thursday evening when he decided to address the latter in a way he deemed degrading and disrespectful while making submissions on Metro TV’s ‘Good Evening Ghana’ show.
Mr. Jinapor commenting on President Akufo-Addo’s address to the nation on the Ghana-US military pact Thursday said; “The President describes the likes of Okudzeto as mischievous politicians who seeks to mislead the people…”, a comment which was quickly interjected by Mr. Ablakwa who felt he had been insulted by being referred to in that manner.
“You will want to treat me with some respect on this programme. When I’m referring to you I don’t call you the likes of you. You want to go the way your president has gone tonight?, I will have none of that, I take a strong exception to that” he said.
“I treat you with respect. I am somebody’s son, I’m somebody’s father. You can just be so flip and say the likes of you. I know power is intoxicating and you think that you will have this power forever, continue, he further stated.
Samuel Abu Jinapor subsequently apologized maintaining that his statements were not in any way targeted at disrespecting the MP.
President Akufo-Addo on Thursday evening addressed the nation over what the controversial US-Ghana military deal which has sparked massive debate in the public for some weeks now.
The President expressed outrage at the opposition NDC’s recent outburst on the deal and described it as a kind of cynical manipulation by reckless self-seekers, who will be exposed and condemned by Ghanaians within the shortest possible time.
He, however, explained that Ghana has not offered a military base, and will not offer a military base to the United States, however, in consideration of challenges to maintaining peace, his government deems it prudent to continue the Co-operation Agreement already in existence.
Ghana-US pact
On March 23, 2018, Parliament ratified an agreement between the governments of Ghana and the USA on defence cooperation, the status of US forces, access to and use of agreed facilities and areas in Ghana.
The object of the agreement is to set forth a framework for enhanced partnership and security cooperation between the US and Ghana, with the aim of strengthening the defence relationship further.
It is also to address shared security challenges in the region while clouding those related to the protection of government personnel and facilities.

You f00ky self and that of your Ablakwa will be the one to resign wai nonsins.
LOOK AT THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK. WHO IS MORE DISRE -SPEC-TFUL THAN OKUDZETO? REMEMBER HOW THE LIKES OF HIM OTUKUNOR AND OFOSU KWAKYE INSULTED ELDERS WITH IMPUNITY LEADING TO THEIR OWN FOUNDER CALLING THEM BABIES WITH SHARP CROOKED TEETH. NOW YOU ARE CRYING FOUL. WHAT PRESIDENT AKFO ADDO SAID WAS NOT INSULTS BUT IT DESCRIBES YOUR BEHAVIOUR. SO GRIN AND BEAR IT.
YOU PEOPLE INSULT OUR PRESIDENT LIKE HE WAS BROUGHT OUR FROM THREE. YOU SEE POWER IS NOT FOREVER. HAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHA
What the hell that this greedy bastard now look for respect.Has he forgotten how he'd insulted elders and Ghananians?***barred word*** ***barred word***.Abu is even good to apologized.
Abu must resign for apologizing to Ablakwa. what the heck does this Ablakwa thinks he is. Look, all the propaganda confusion so far has been started by Ablakwa or he was a chief conniving agent. Agyarko vetting bribe allegation,Cash for seat allegation,This USA deal brouhaha,The deputy chief of staff allegation, the BOST contaminated oil allegation all these the mischievous Ablakwa was involved. NPP do not treat thin ilk with kid gloves. He has a history of pulling down well accomplished individuals. He almost brought all the life time achievement of professor Gyimah Boadi of Legon to the ground when he was NUGS president.His own uncle lawyer Okudjeto was not spared. when Asamoah Boateng's passport was seized and his uncle said only a court of law could order that the seizure of a passport. this boy challenged his uncle that it is written non the passport it belongs to Government of Ghana so the police/BNI could just snatch.This argument with his uncle was on live radio. the impudence of a antelope in the sea!! when sea turtles are talking. This matter went to court and his uncle the lawyer was vindicated. this is only one example of Ablakwa's non dignifying characters
“The President describes the likes of Okudzeto as mischievous politicians who seeks to mislead the people…”, An apt description of this baby with sharp teeth who is always looking for illegal cheap popularity. Abu next time he demands for apology tell him to go and apologize to all the people he insulted before
MY DEAR OKUDJETO IF ANYBODY WANTS TO PERSONIFY BABY TEETH DESCRIPTION OF RAILINGS, THERE CAN BE NOBODY BEST SUITED FOR THAT DESCRIPTION THAN YOU. SOME OF YOUR LIKES INCLUDES SAM GEORGE, BROGYA GYAMFI, HANNA BISIW AND SOME OTHERS. IT USED TO BE A LARGE LIST BUT UNLIKE YOU MANY OF YOUR KIND SUCH AS FIFI KWERTY KOBY ACHEAMPONG, OFOSU KWAAKYE, AND SOME OTHERS HAVE LEARNT TO MATURE WITH TIME OR HIDE THEIR INSULTING CHARACTER WHEN IN OPPOSITION.
Who will respect you for amassing wealth through stea'ling state funds? Has your GHC20k been stolen again since NDC lost power?
There was no need for this apology,, Ghanaians forget quickly,, after this so called MP called Ablakwah insulting the elderly sits there to complain of this? politics in Ghana is so cheap..
Abu paaaa... You were even mild with him. Now he's clamoring for respect? Does he show any respect for the intelligence of Ghanaians? his st-u-pid utterances. I Joseph... I tell you Ablakwa, that you are f-oo-li-sh
