A communicator of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dela Edem, who rained insults on the former President of Ghana, John Agyekum Kufuor, has apologised for the unsavoury and derogatory words used against the former President.
In a post shared via social media, Dela Edem indicated that he has realised that his words, which he refused to retract on live television, were wrong and has therefore taken them back after several days of backlash.
Dela Edem, while speaking on Accra-based TV XYZ, used some unsavoury words on former President John Agyekum Kufuor following an interview in which the statesman urged Ghanaians to vote for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
“Let me say something to President Kufuor. He should be careful; I expect him to stay in his lane. He should enjoy his retirement with the riches he had from being president. He is in a wheelchair as payment for his sins as president,” he said.
Even though the host, Mugabe Maase, asked that he retract his words, Dela Edem insisted that he had no regrets and believed in all he had espoused.
His comments did not sit well with the general public, who condemned him for raining insults on a man who had not provoked him in any way.
