Afenyo-Markin Slammed Over Tribal Remarks
A prominent Ghanaian politician, Nana Otu Darko, has called on Hon. Afenyo-Markin to apologise to the Ewe community for stirring tribal tensions. According to Nana Otu Darko, Afenyo-Markin’s comments have the potential to create divisions among Ghanaians and undermine national unity.
The controversy surrounds a recent statement made by Afenyo-Markin, which was perceived as divisive and tribalistic. Nana Otu Darko, a vocal critic of Afenyo-Markin, said the comments were unacceptable and called for an unreserved apology.
“Ewes are not a conquered people, and we will not be spoken to in a manner that suggests we are inferior,” Nana Otu Darko said in a statement. He urged Afenyo-Markin to retract his statement and apologise to the Ewe community.
According to Ghana News Agency, Afenyo-Markin’s comments have sparked widespread outrage, with many Ghanaians condemning his remarks as tribalistic and divisive. The incident has reignited debates about tribalism and regionalism in Ghana.
The Ewe community has a significant presence in Ghana, and any perceived slight against them is likely to attract widespread attention. Nana Otu Darko’s call for an apology highlights the sensitivity of the issue and the need for politicians to be mindful of their language.
As the controversy continues to simmer, it remains to be seen how Afenyo-Markin will respond to the backlash.
