We will show our private parts to Veep - Women

The Melee over an inference from John Jinapor, spokesperson for Vice President John Mahama, that Vice President of International Federation of Female Layers (FIDA), Ursula Owusu, is a slut, whore and a prostitute, is getting out of gear as some female demonstrators would be stripping at the Osu Castle over the matter.

“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,” the group noted in a statement signed by Vida Dugbatey, former Greater Accra Regional Women’s Organizer of the New Patriotic Party.

“The statement stated that “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.

The Vice President is a married man, he has a mother and has sisters and his silence is disappointing. We dare him to condemn the insults from his spokesperson to show that he was not in support of that shameful act. Vida Dugbatey said she would be leading the demonstration with Grace Attafua, Eastern Regional Women’s Organiser of the NPP, as well as Elizabeth Apentem, a female activist and they would be assembling women to present the ten regions of Ghana.
