Otiko Afisa Djaba, Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection
The Northern Regional Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has denied ever saying Gender, Children and Social Protection Minister Otiko Afisa Djaba, is a lesbian.
“I have never accused her of being a lesbian but it is on the internet every … but I’m not the one who said it,” Mr Bugri Naabu told journalists in a recent interview, stressing: “I didn’t say so, I haven’t even heard it but it’s all over.”
Ms Djaba was trolled on social media to that effect after a war of words between her and Mr Naabu.
The fight started after Mr Naabu violently disrupted a meeting organised by Ms Djaba in the Northern Region on Friday, 5 May.
Ms Djaba subsequently hit back describing Mr Naabu as a bribe taker who extorts cows, goats and cash from people lobbying for jobs in the Akufo-Addo government.
Mr Naabu then returned fire by accusing Ms Djaba of having had a hand in the murder of the NPP’s Upper East Regional Chairman, Adams Mahama. It was alleged on social media that Mr Naabu accused of being a lesbian during that particular interview with Accra-based Radio XYZ. But Mr Naabu has denied ever using that word on Ms Djaba.
