The Dean of the School of Communication at the University of Ghana, Legon, said that the act of some members of the minority Parliament to wear posters calling a member of the newly elected House "Bloody Widow" was shameful .
Professor Audrey Gadzekpo strongly condemned the behavior of MPs who protested against the swearing in of Ayawaso West Wuogon, Lydia Alhbadan, on Tuesday, 5 February.

"The minority was irrelevant," she said, asking them to apologize to Ms. Lydia Alhbadan and Ghanaians because their actions were bad.
"If the minority takes the time to think and want women to be part of politics, they will excuse themselves. It is important that members of society teach people not to agree in a civilized way, "said Professor Gadzekpo.
She baderted that the action of the deputies of the National Democratic Congress was wrong on two fronts:
In the first place, she stated that there was no evidence that Ms. Lydia Alhbadan, the winner of this election, had caused the violence that characterized the by-election, or that she had won the election because of the violence.
Secondly, Professor Gadzekpo criticizes the actions of the minority as an attack on women.
Lydia Alhbadan, she said, "has won on several fronts. It's his view [also held by the Electoral Commission]that the event of one polling station could not invalidate those of several others who were so peaceful and orderly.
"The fact that she won this riding is not related to the violence. Whether or not she would have won [without the violence], we do not know. But the fact is that she won, "she said Wednesday Joy FM Super Morning Show.
"Parliamentarians should never hold a sign against a woman," she said.
She added, "I doubt if it is a man, they would behave the same way. His widow identity is not necessary.
Believing that the action of the minority was "intimidating and shameful for women," she lamented that "Ghana's political culture is inhospitable to women."
Prof Gadzekpo said that she was not surprised that some NDC women have joined defamation of a colleague because gender issues are not a men's or women's issue but a problem of understanding how women are treated.
Audrey Gadzekpo admits that "the pressure of the dominant group always forces others to go against their own interests"
