THANK NDC MP FOR GLORIFYING YOU WITH WIDOWHOOD TITLE-ASIEDU NKETIA TO MADAM LYDIA
The General Secretary of the biggest opposition party in Ghana, National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Johnson Aseidu Nketia, has indicated that the minority members of the Ghanaian parliament have glorified Madam Lydia Alhassan, a supposed widow of late Kyeremanteng Agyarko, with the widowhood title, because according to him, she does not deserve the honor.
Minority members of parliament during the week raised white placards against the newly elected Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon, with inscription, ‘BLOODY WIDOW’, and subsequently boycotted the swearing-in of Madam Lydia to register their displeasure against her, for being the beneficiary of the electoral process that ended up with shedding blood of innocent Ghanaians. Although many have lashed out at the minority for taking such a horrifying decision that seeks to set a bad precedence against the future, Mr. Asiedu Nketia insists members of the minority have glorified her by calling her ‘bloody widow.’
He said they should have referred to her as ‘bloody side-chick’ because that is what she is.
On a famous political show on Radio Gold–pampaso, with Samuel Huntor, the General Secretary of NDC revealed that ‘even the family of late Kyeremanteng Agyarko have refuted claims by Madam Lydia that she is a widow to their son. Therefore, she cannot parade herself as a widow, because she is not.’ He Argued that the rightful widow and legally recognized widow of late Agyarko is currently observing her widowhood rite to spiritually commemorate her late husband.
He further stated that arguments making way across media, stipulating that Madam Lydia knew nothing about the bloody electoral process is unfortunate, because she could have equally pulled out of the process, as done by NDC, to indicate that she is not aware of the ‘bloody development and she that does not want to benefit from blood of innocent Ghanaians.’ But for her to go on with the process and benefit from the fruit of the violence, tells she was fully in support of what happened.
‘Lorent Bagbo was never seen holding gun, but he was arrest for war crime against humanity. Similar thing can be said in her regard,’ he bemoaned.
BRIEF NARRATION OF EVENT
If we recall, the supposed by-election to usher in a replacement to late member of parliament of Ayawaso West Wuogon turned bloody when some masked men, allegedly vigilante fraternity of the governing New Patriotic Party, stormed the strong hold of opposition National Democratic Congress and raided the place with gun-shots, leading to the injury of more than fifteen citizens who had gone there to vote for their candidate. Nonetheless, Minister of State in charge of National Security has claimed the responsibility, stressing that those gun-toting men were his boys.
Meanwhile, the entire security apparatus are under pressure from Ghanaians to investigate and bring perpetrators of that unscrupulous act to legal justice. Mnradioonline has gathered intelligence that a footballer among the injured group is likely to get his leg amputated due to the severity of the injury.
