Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Adwoa Safo, has issued an unequivocal apologies to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) leadership, particularly President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and senior party officials.
Adwoa Safo said in a social media video that she was dealing with personal and family concerns during her extended absence from Parliament.
She urged the NPP leadership and followers to forgive her.
Adwoa Safo was away from her post for more than a year after visiting the United States. Her seat became vacant, and some MPs called for it to be declared such.
In 2022, she was hauled before Parliament’s Privileges Committee.
“I would like to use this opportunity to apologise to my New Patriotic Party members, the leadership. Firstly to the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, our mother, the Chief of Staff Hon. Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, Majority Leader Osei Kyei- Mensah Bonsu and the entire leadership of Parliament, my colleague MPs, Majority caucus.
“I would like to apologise to all of you for my behaviour sometime back. I would like to say that it wasn’t intended or planned to disrespect you all.
“I was faced with so many personal and family issues. I would like to plead with you in the name of the Lord, my regional executives, Greater Accra, constituency executives, the headquarters of NPP, the General Secretary and National Chairman and all your workers. I beg all of you, supporters, and sympathisers, who love the party and loved me and have faith in the constituency, please forgive me for all that has happened.”
