'Dzifa Ativor needs help' - Kweku Baako

He expressed regret at Mrs Ativor’s refusal to retract and apologise for her comments which have been regarded by many as ethnocentric.

 

“I think we should help the lady, she needs help! Otherwise, she can live with this matter the way Victor Owusu, Professor Awoonor lived with,” he said during a panel discussion on Accra-based Joy FM.

The former Minister who resigned after the $3.6 million bus re-branding scandal a few months ago has come under fire for asking the people of the Volta Region to retain the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in power; else the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) will only jail officials of the government who are Ewes should they win the November polls.

In Mr. Kweku Baako submission, he indicated that the former Transport Minister “goofed big time” because the claims she made to support her plea to the electorate in the Volta Region were flawed.

“It is clear that based on facts, based on logic, based on records, she goofed and its worse when she sent it within the realm of ethnocentrism. If you want to continue with your propaganda that whatever happened was selective justice and persecution; that is your headache,” he said.

Mr. Baako stated that when women err, it is important that they are treated “in a very soft way especially when they are prepared to retract and apologise.”

“In this case, apparently, our very beautiful, fine lady is not ready to do so and I am disappointed in that.”
