General Secretary of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has alleged that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo deliberately appointed some members of the fairer sex to positions of higher authority in his administration just to sully the image of women.
According to him, the president purposely appointed Tiwaa Addo Danquah to head the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of Ghana Police Service and Mrs. Jean Mensa as the chairperson for Electoral Commission (EC), to portray the false impression of a government that is gender-sensitive, eventhough he (the president) considered them to be "blockheads".
Commenting on the arrest of the party's National Chairman Ofosu Ampofo and President Nana Addo’s recent submission on women empowerment at a Conference in Canada, in an interview on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, the NDC Chief Scribe accused President Akufo-Addo of really not having the interest of Ghanaian women at heart regarding such appointments.
“I believe that President Akufo-Addo himself does not have the interest of Ghanaian women at heart because in the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks; which is why the President said Ghanaian women are not pushing and knocking hard enough. He cunningly portrays himself as someone who has the best interest of women. Have you seen how he embarrassed himself in Canada? Because what he said about Ghanaian women is exactly his thoughts,” he asserted.
General Mosquito, as he is affectionately called in political circles, maintained that President Akufo-Addo “deliberately selects some women who are block-headed and hand over positions to them and when they fail, he turns around to say on international platforms that Ghanaian women lack drive and dynamism”.
To him, it will be best if all gender-based groups in the country rise up against the President for appointing such mediocre women to key positions of trust.
“...it is time for the gender groups to rise up against the President....they should make Ghanaians believe that when women are appointed, they can do the work better than men and that the person who is appointing women should know that there are better women in the country than those block-headed women he is deliberately appointing....
“deep within President Akufo-Addo, he does not believe in Ghanaian women as he has been portrayed. He only chooses women who are block-headed so that we can have bad examples of women who have failed in their positions, so that Ghanaians will get upset and he will then say that he would have appointed more women but they are not performing,” he added.

If they are told that "NDC is a threat to our democracy" they do not understand. Not even the council of elders in the NDC are sensible enough to comport themselves, so when the like of Asiedu Nketia and Sammy Gyamfi insults public officers it is not surprising. THE INSULTS THAT SENT THEM INTO OPPOSITION WILL KEEP THEM THERE FOR A LONG TIME. John Mahama is the most BLOCKHEADED human being in Ghana today.
ASEIDU NKETIA KEEP QUIET OOOOOO KOOO, YOU LIKE TALKING TOO MUCH LIES, BECAUSE THE EC DID NOT ALLOWED YOU MR. NKETIA TO MARCH THE 14 YEARS AND 15 YEARS OLD'S TO GO AND REGISTER TO FAVOUR HIS PARTY. SO THAT, HE CAN MARCH THEM AGAIN TO VOTE AND RAG THE 2020 ELECTIONS TO INCREASE NDC NUMBERS IN VOTES, THAT IS WHY ASEIDU NKETIA KEEP ON MAKING SO MUCH NOISE IN GHANA, YOU WILL STAY AND RIOT IN OPPOSITION UNTIL THY KINGDOM COME. SO WHEN YOU INSULT THEM IS ANYTHING GOING TO CHANGE, NO
No wonder one of the EC officials said once that the NDC is a threat to our democracy
Right on point, General.
Is Asiedu Nkatiah a human being at all? I think he is an ***barred word***
Asiedu Nketiah be a man and show your wife if she can compare to these women. What work does your wife do in Canada. Could she have been appointed to any of the positions held by this women you are insulting. If you are a man indeed compare them to your wife and mother and let us know the difference.
listen to this bushh an1mal he is just making his evil party more unpopular by their comments
NDC is mistake for Ghana politics. Asiedu Nketiah is a very big mistake for the NDC and Ghana Politics. Sometime ago, some people thought he was just being comic in his utterances on the political scene. These days, I think the man is completely out of control. I think he should be properly examined up there before it becomes too late. He has too much bitterness and hatred in his heart for all his political opponents and anybody who refuses to tow his line of reasoning. It is just a pity.
SOME QUOTES FROM GENGHIS KHAN TO NPP FANATICS “The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.” “I am the flail of god. Had you not created great sins, god would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”
INDEED THE NDC HAS LOST FOCUS. INDEED THE NDC IS BEING LED BY F001$. HOW CAN SUCH IRREVERENT !RRESP0NSIBLE U==G1Y +W=At INSULT HARDWORKING WOMEN AND OH! THE SO CALLED FEMINISTS ARE ALL QUIET. THIS F0=0L SHOULD BE CONDEMNED FOR HIS BUF--00-N£RY. MAY GOD WITHOUT MERCY PUN1$H THIS MAN.
