NPP Plot Against Veep Exposed

The brouhaha generated by the false claim of Ms Ursula Owusu that Mr John Jinapor, Spokesperosn for Vice President John Dramani Mahama, referred to Ghanaian women as prostitutes, whores and sluts derived from a plot orchestrated by the opposition party to smear the Presidency, The Catalyst can state. Being an integral part of the NPP propaganda machine, Ms Ursula Owusu cleverly seized the opportunity, on the Good Morning Ghana show on Metro TV last week, and tried to turn Ghanaian women against the Vice President.

Ms Ursula Owusu, who is also Vice President of International Federation of Female Layers (FIDA), falsely accused John Jinapor as referring to her and other Ghanaian women as prostitutes, whores and sluts when all that the spokesperson of the vice president said was that he did not engage in prostitution or sit on the lap of any man to get money to build his house.

Information reaching The Catalyst from sources within the NPP indicates that the NPP feels unsafe with the clean bill that President Mills and Vice President John Mahama have kept at the Presidency so far. The opposition party has therefore hatched a plot to throw mud at the presidency at the least opportunity or generate a scandal to smear the sit of government for political expediency. The false claim by Ursula Owusu has been embraced by, especially, the Akufo-Addo faction within the party who are resorting to every means possible to make the mud being thrown, by the NPP strong woman, at the Vice President stick.

Ursula Owusu, who attacks President Mills at will, wrote an open letter, in the Crusading Guide, to Vice President John Mahama in which she cast aspersions at the vice president for choosing Mr John Jinapor as his spokesperson.

Some NPP women of Ursula’s ilk claim they are planning a demonstration to the Castle where they intend to strip naked and show their private parts to the vice president because his spokesperson refereed to them as prostitutes, whores and sluts.

A statement signed by Vida Dugbatey, former Greater Accra Regional Women’s Organizer of the NPP on behalf of the Ursula Owusu solidarity group within the party said “on Television, the platform where John Jinapor used those words, he was introduced as spokesperson for John Mahama and not as an individual so anything he said there was said in the name of John Mahama.” John Jinapor however did not use those words on Metro TV as claimed by Ursula and her ‘private showing’ group, according to the TV station which set the record straight a day after the incident happened. Shamima Muslim, the hostess of the show also corroborated the position of the TV station. According to her, John Jinapor did not use those words.

Surprisingly, Metro TV’s clarification on the matter has been ignored and the NPP propaganda machine is spreading the blatant falsehood against the vice president’s spokesperson like wild bush fire.

Part of the statement, which portrays utter disrespect for the presidency, as published by Daily Guide states “We would start a very cool demonstration but when we get to the Castle, we would raise our underpants for the Vice President and his Jinapor to see our private parts since they are expects in telling which Ghanaian women is a prostitute. They must look and not feel shy because after all, that was where they came from. “The silence of Vice President John Mahama over the insults makes us believe he supports what is spokesperson said and may have even encouraged him to use more of vulgar expressions against women.”
