Former Deputy Minister of the Interior under the John Mahama government, the Hon. James Agalga said that the attempt by some civil society groups to reduce the "bloody widow" posters posed by the minority in Parliament to a debate on gender in order to make the minority appear as a badist prejudice will not be eliminated.

He explained that Hon. Lydia Seyram Alhbadan, the main beneficiary of the violence that characterized the elections, is a fact that can not be disputed, even if it is not she who ordered these armed henchmen to unleash the violence.

"So, on this point, I do not agree that the woman did nothing wrong. Even if she did not, one could not forget the fact that she had benefited from the anarchy that followed during the elections; She is the main beneficiary, so you can not run away because her hands were bleeding with blood, "he said.

Speaking at the political broadcast of the "Alhaji and Alhaji" weekend of Radio Gold, the Builsa North legislator claimed that "even the president can not flee this fact because it is under his watch that these armed henchmen were released to commit these atrocities ".

"Bryan Acheampong's hands are contaminated with the blood of 8 people who were shot at without any provocation. So, Hon. Lydia Seyram Alhbadan. Why do we have to play the ostrich and not say what is obvious? The truth is that the voices of conscience that rather than condemning the brutality of election day have deemed it appropriate to stoop on people like us should be reviewing their notes … ", he said.

He fumed, "We will not be intimidated by these irresponsible condemnations. We are resolute and firm, convinced that our actions were legitimate. were clearly accompanied by acceptable parliamentary procedure, so let them go back into history. "

However, he warned those who planned to cite the minority for contempt, to deal in the first place with the petition he had filed, which somehow cites the contempt of the minority of the time (now the majority) , for calling former president Mahama a "thief." , before they address the issue of "bloody widow" signs held in Parliament at the investiture of the Hon. Lydia Alhbadan.
