Francis Esiam, a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) public relations team, slams Ningo Prampuram MP Sam Ngati George for calling NPP flag bearer Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia a “religious prostitute”. did.
In her view, MPs have no right to badmouth people because they are “beneficiaries of state privilege.”
“What have you done in this life before coming to Parliament?” You are just a patron of state privileges. I cannot stand by and watch you insult Bawumia. You are not your own island. Who do you think you are? she asked during an interview on Adom FM’s morning show. Dowaso Nsem on friday.
Madame Esiam argued that the term “prostitute” was derogatory and blasphemous, and called for tolerance and civil discussion.
Members of the NPP said it was the prerogative of the NPP to select Dr Bawumia as the party’s candidate and therefore disrespectful words and descriptions would not be tolerated.
“It’s the party’s right to choose who it wants. You can’t blame the vice president because you don’t even know Mahama’s fate in the 2024 elections. The word ‘prostitute’ is derogatory and blasphemous. is. We should be tolerant,” she stressed.
Madam Esiam could not understand why Sam George would take issue with the Vice President visiting the church when he actually worked in Vice President Aliu Mahama’s office.
“Weren’t you a Christian when you worked in Alyu Mahama’s office? So why attack Muslims? I will not allow you to insult Bawumia,” she fumed.
Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Domeabra-Obom, Sophia Akuaku, has issued an unconditional apology on behalf of Sam George.
She said he made a mistake, but the nuclear power plant’s response to the issue is rather adding salt to the injury.
“This issue should be ignored. There should be no confusion. Sam George did not say this to attack Muslims. When I left my constituency and moved to another, they called me a political whore, and such words should not be accepted. Let’s all get over this incident,” she said.
