Presidential Staffer, Nana Yaa Jantuah, has taken a jab at the New Patriotic Party (NPP), stating that she is now their official petition receiver at Jubilee House.
According to Nana Yaa Jantuah, President John Mahama has officially delegated her to receive any petition the NPP brings to the Jubilee House during future demonstrations.
Speaking on TV XYZ, Nana Yaa Jantuah stated, “I am now the official petition receiver for the NPP at the Jubilee House. Unless they decide not to embark on any demonstrations, but if they do and decide to bring a petition to the Jubilee House, I will be the one to reply and sign their letter. I will also receive their petitions”.
“I am the only one who will receive it and no one else. President Mahama has officially delegated me to receive any petition from the NPP, unless they decide not to come to the Jubilee House,” she added.
She added, “They will be seeing me every time moving forward”.
“I want to put on record that I will make sure I’m always available and at the office when they decide to come around. Even if I’m unavailable, I will rush back to receive them no matter where I am,” she concluded.
The development follows Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who indirectly referred to her as a “nobody” during the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) recently concluded “Democracy Under Attack” demonstration.
Speaking during the presentation of the petition at the Presidency on Thursday, August 6, Mr Afenyo-Markin stated, “With great respect and without prejudice to your presence, to nominate only you to come amounts to disrespecting us as a political party”.
“But to disrespect our democracy by only nominating you to come, it means the government does not take seriously the great issues before us,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Nana Yaa Jantuah has announced plans to petition Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin over comments made by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
According to Nana Yaa Jantuah, he is old enough to be Afenyo-Markin’s mother mother adding that the minority leader is a small boy in her eyes.
Nana Yaa Jantuah disclosed that she would formally petition Speaker Alban Bagbin to demand that the Minority Leader retract his remarks.
The Presidential Staffer argued that Afenyo-Markin’s comments were unacceptable.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM later on Thursday, Nana Jantuah expressed deep disappointment over the Minority Leader’s comments.
Nana Yaa Jantuah stated, “I am old enough to be your mother. Afenyo-Markin is a small boy in my eyes. Who is he to disrespect me? He should never try that again”.
“I will petition the Speaker for Afenyo-Markin to withdraw what he said. He used to call me ‘Senior.’ What has changed? I am so mortified. I cannot comprehend what happened,” she added.
Also, Martin Kpebu, a Private legal practitioner, has told presidential staffer Nana Yaa Jantuah to apologise to Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The private legal practitioner argued that there was nothing wrong with Afenyo-Markin referring to Nana Yaa Jantuah as a “nobody.”
According to Martin Kpebu, Nana Yaa Jantuah must apologise to Afenyo-Markin for how she subsequently reacted to the minority leader’s comment.
He urged Nana Yaa Jantuah to toughen up because she holds public office.
Speaking on TV3, Martin Kpebu stated, “If Afenyo-Markin comes to say Nana Yaa is a nobody, to be very candid with you, it is not an insult. Look, our democracy is stronger than this. Sometimes public discourse needs to be caustic; that is why JM himself called Akufo-Addo and co Akyem Sakawa mafia. And who arrested JM?”
“So, I think that she has to come out and apologise. It’s not about her feelings. We’ve put her in public office. You see how, coming to relate, they used it. So this particular Nana Yaa is a nobody video; that’s not the end we’ve seen.
“I think an apology will be in order. Ghanaians are very shrewd, though. Ghanaians are very savvy. Don’t think that’s the end of this episode. Wait, in 2028, when they start playing it back, there would have been a few other mistakes by then. When they put them together, NDC, they will win the election, but they will be in trouble,” he added.
