Editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide, endorsed the views expressed by President Nana Akufo-Addo at the Women Deliver Conference in Canada.

For Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, attacking the president for his comment is wrong because he (Akufo-Addo) only made his views known.

He felt that President Akufo-Addo's view of badual dynamism was supported by some empirical evidence, as he had proved his point by appointing 30% of women in his government.

Mr. Baako strikes harshly at critics who ask the president to apologize without reservation.

"Do not ask someone who says that to apologize. He expressed his point of view, which relies on empirical evidence. He may be wrong, so you are attacking that judgment. There is no basis for excuses to express this point of view which is a political point of view. If you're talking about women who are not doing enough, I think there's nothing wrong with that, "he told Good Morning Ghana of the Metro channel, based in Accra, and monitored by Adomonline. .com.

His comment is based on a statement by the president, who said that Ghanaian women have done little to deserve a place in the national decision-making process.

In agreement with the president, the astute journalist reproached women activists for doing nothing to bring women to the forefront.

He said the President's commitment to the principle of gender equality was intact and criticized the movement for not doing enough to push women.

"I think movements do not do enough. They could form a movement and unite to ensure that our women are put in the front line. I have seen active and dynamic women, but the movements are not helping us, "he added.

According to him, critics are free to challenge the views of the president but should not ask him to apologize, because he said nothing wrong.
