THE ASHANTI Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako has waded into the controversy about the supposed snub of Otiko Afisa Djaba, the ex-Gender Minister.
According to the chairman aka ‘Wontumi’, it is an insult to the President Nana Akufo-Addo and Ghanaians in general for Otiko to reject an ambassadorial appointment from the Ghana leader.
Wontumi argued that it is necessary for Otiko to quickly come out and publicly apologize to the president and the entire Ghanaians over her decision to reject an offer from the president.
The former Gender Minister was axed in the recent ministerial reshuffle and reassigned as Ghana’s envoy to Italy.
The tough-talking minister, days after her new post is widely speculated to have rejected the president’s appointment with the excuse to look after her sick husband.
The decision triggered spontaneous reaction especially from politicians over her decision to reject such an offer from no mean a person than President Nana Akufo-Addo.
Sharing his views on the issue, Wontumi told a Kumasi radio station that whether Otiko’s husband is sick or not, it is disrespectful on her part to reject such an ambassadorial appointment from the president.
“Otiko should apologize to the president and Ghanaians for disrespecting the president”, he said, asking “at the time she accepted the Gender minister position was his husband not sick?”

Wontumi, don't act like a wicked person. The lady needs to take care of her ex hubby. This shows that for some people, family would always come first ahead of work. Allow the lady to solve her domestic problems.
Did Akuffo Addo Apologies to Ghanaians about Nyantakyi bribery issues, JB Killing arrangement by Ken Agyapong and Akuffo Addo, Ameri deal bribery, Dangote bribery issues, did that your Monkey Dwarf President apologies, you are ***barred word*** and coward by saying this lady should apologies. the lady explained herself saying she can not go to Italy while the sick husband is at home in Ghana, will the President approve the husband to be transfer to Italy for treatment? This is what u must ask your President first, dont be silly the lady is right and love the husband tooo much of that dwarf Akuffo Addo. Apiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu apologies to your monkey face
U know madam oTIKO alway believed and stand by her words.and you all supported her for that ,why are you asking her to apologize to Ghanians today?
I THINK WONTUMI IS GOT IT WRONG HERE.AT THE TIME OTIKO ACCEPTED GENDER MINISTER, THE POSITION WAS IN ACCRA NOT A FAR AWAY COUNTRY WHICH IN CASE OF EMERGENCY SHE COULD QUICKLY DASH TO SEE HER HUSBAND INSTEAD OF BEING IN A FARAWAY LAND.I THINK THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN JUST OTIKO SNUBBING THE APPOINTMENT.I BELIEVE THIS WOMAN HAS NOT BEEN TREATED FAIRLY BY THE NPP AFTER THE TOIL SHE RENDERED TO THE PARTY.I BELIEVE THE WISEST THING WONTUMI AND ABLE THINKING NPP MEMBERS COULD DO IS TO SORT OUT YOUR DIFFERENCES AND LET PEACE PREVAIL.
Is she the first person to reject or resign from a political appointment?
otiko it serves you right is Great God of mr Mahaha who is punishing you
is it by force? opportunity cost, she is going to take care of her ex husband is very important to her than going out of the country. That should be a prayer answered for someone why should she apologise?
Interesting. Mind you, Otiko is not a boot licker. She has the right to make her own choice as you also have a right to make noise without a substantive proof.
Apologies to PRESIDENT NO. Was she informed or was it discussed with her. I think Chairman do not understand what is going on.
First of all u the NPP did not treat this woman well at all secondly, u cant force her into what she does not like, my problem with this lady is she should have let the President know right the time she was informed about the new post. I'm happy how the social media had been supportive of her. it shows....
