Kan Dapaah: I will rather learn useful lessons – Ablakwa

It is normal for an opponent to rejoice at the downfall of a competitor, however, the case is different with the recent leaked video of the National Security Minister in a romantic chat with his alleged ‘side chick’.

Although the Minister has received his fair share of backlash from a section of Ghanaians who are also calling for his immediate resignation for being 'careless', most politicians including members of the opposition have shown empathy.

First, was NDC’s Sam George stating that the video was a set up by some members of the ruling party to mount pressure on the unfortunate Minister to resign from his post.

The Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram described the seemingly malicious intent by the unknown persons as “wicked” emphasizing that no one is safe within their fraternity.

“State craft on display. Set a man up, play coy, orchestrate calls for his resignation and pressure him to resign. Just so you bring the 'greater evil' of the two to control our national security. We live in dangerous times as a Nation,” Sam George posted on Facebook.

“Wicked, very wicked people run affairs of State. No one is safe from the cabal. Not even one of their own. Pray and stay woke. Always!” he added.

National Chairman of the People's National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, also jumped to the defense of Mr Albert Kan Dapaah. He condemned individuals happily sharing the videos and questioned if they (critics) have never been involved in such intimacy before.

Member of Parliament for Tongu North Constituency, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa, is the latest to join the solidarity movement stating that he would rather pick lessons to serve as a guide in the future.

Quoting a verse in the Bible from the book of Proverbs, he wrote on Twitter, “Do not rejoice when your enemy (political opponent) falls; And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles. – Proverbs 24:17.

Background

National Security Minister, Albert Kan Dapaah, was spotted in a video making rounds on social media sweet-talking a woman who by the look of things is not his wife.

The footage, which is a video call recorded by the unknown woman, details a lovestruck Kan Dapaah who helplessly takes orders from the lady whose face is not captured in the conversation.

The 66-year-old National Security boss who appeared to be in Europe on assignment was clad in dark-blue dotted pyjamas which he flaunted upon request by the unidentified lady.



“…I want to see your pyjamas. I want to see the front, the back, like the way you did it yesterday… Turn around and let me see it, is it trouser or shorts… raise your leg…” to which the minister obeys without complaint.
