Former Gender Minister Nana Oye Lithur has criticised President Akufo-Addo over his controversial comments about Ghanaian women in Canada.
The President in his contribution at the Women Deliver Conference in Canada, said he is yet to see dynamism in Ghanaian women.
“We are not seeing enough dynamism and activism on the part of those who are seeking. I am talking about dynamism where it matters…electing people to Parliament, controlling political parties because they are the instruments by which our societies make decisions.
“We are talking about decisions, not wishes and hopes, we are talking about decisions that are going to make the difference,” the President said.
The comments have been heavily criticised by some Ghanaian women despite the open challenge that was given Mr. Akufo-Addo at the conference by Dr Alaa Murabit, the UN’s High Commissioner on Health Employment and Economic Growth, who appeared uncomfortable by the president’s stands.
Speaking to Ghone television, Oye Lithur said the President’s comment made her cry as a Ghanaian women.
“President Akufo-Addo made me cry, I cried when I watched the video. To have a human rights lawyer speak and address gender issues in the way he addressed, very regrettable. He couldn’t even get his data right. Even the representation of women in his cabinet, he couldn’t get that right”.

Oye Lither, you crying! Hypocrisy at its best. cry for yourself dear. the truth is only one! period.
NO YOUR BITTER DIVORCE MADE YOU CRY, NOT AKUFO ADDO. SILLY GREEDY MONSTER MAN-BEATER WOMAN
I ONCE NOTICE AT A FUNERAL ABOUT A WOMAN WHO WAS CRYING UNCONTROLLABLY. I THOUGHT SHE WAS RELATED TO THE DECEASED, BUT SHE WAS NOT. SHE WAS WEEPING FOR THE LOSS OF THE HUSBAND DIED SOME FEW MONTH BEFORE. SHE WAS CRYING FOR HER OWN SITUATION. OYE LITHUR APPEAR TO CRY OVER NANA ADDO COMMENT NOT BECAUSE OF THE STATEMENT BUT HER OWN CURRENT STATE OF LIFE OF HER DIVORCE.
Tweaaaaaaaaaa Oye Lithur the one who sign the petition for thugs to be released after they have threaten a woman chief justice...
One thing is very clear that our President is not a hypocrite. If you are not politically active and stay indifferent you allow a fooolish people to rule you and decide for you.The population of women in Ghana outweighs that of men, yet we have more men in dicission making positions than women. And that is a fact. Therefore, we have to encourage more women to take up such positions. The quota rules and affirmative actions are just not enough in the long term. It appears as if without the lordship dashing the women the positions they are equally well qualified to possess like their men counterpart, they cannot make any meaningful headway by themselves. That in itself is very discriminatory and degrading as an able and confident woman. Indeed, the Government of the day can fairly provide the citizenry with the appropriate tools like education and awareness to bring all persons on board. I pray that NDC does not jump in here to make their usual populistic and hypocritical politics.
