Accused New Patriotic Party (NPP) royalist Hajia Fati is as a fearless person planted at the party headquarters to torment members in the NPP perceived to be anti-President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, according to General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia
“Hajia Fati is a lioness planted at the NPP headquarters as Nana Addo’s key supporter”, Mr Asiedu Nketiah alleged.
“She is untouchable and all her doing has been endorsed by some high authorities”, he told Mac-Jerry Osei Agyemang in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com on Neat FM.
“She can’t be controlled, not even the police, mark it anywhere. Only Nana Addo can stop her [Hajia Fati’s] nonsense”, Mr. Asiedu Nketiah added.
The staunch supporter of the President is under police investigations for allegedly assaulting a journalist with Adom FM, Ohemaa Sekyiwaa at the NPP’s party headquarters in Accra.
Speaking to Police’s investigations into the incident, the NDC chief stated unequivocally that investigations into the attack on the journalist will lead to nothing.
“It’s a total waste of time. They [Police] are even scared”, General Mosquito as affectionately called in political circles stated
Background
Hajia Fati, a staunch supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), justified slapping a journalist from The Multimedia Group at the party’s office, Friday.
She admitted slapping Adom FM’s newscaster, Ohemaa Sakyiwaa Ahwenepa but said she only took that action because the reporter had not sought her permission before taking pictures of her, neither did she introduce herself as a journalist.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Monday, Hajia Fati said, “She was snapping [taking pictures of] me, I don’t know her, she didn’t approach me, she didn’t tell me anything.”
“I only saw a flash on my face twice, the third time, I slapped her because I didn’t know who she was. She looked like an onion seller,” she told host Daniel Dadzie.
Sakyiwaa was dispatched to the NPP headquarters on Friday to report on events as suspended Second Vice Chairman of the party, Sammy Crabbe had gone to the office to pick forms to contest the to contest the party’s chairmanship position at the upcoming National Delegates Congress.
But Hajia Fati created a scene after encountering Mr Crabbe who has been on suspension since 2015.
Screaming invectives at him, she cautioned the embattled vice chairman not to return to the party office although he had been asked to pay for the nomination form in cash.
“Where is Sammy Crabbe? Sammy Crabbe? We don’t want his money ooo,” she yelled as she walked about the party’s office in Asylum Down in Accra.
