A claim by Ursula Owusu-Ekuful,
the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West that she has apologized to
Collins Dauda, the MP for Asutifi South has been flatly rejected by the member
of the Minority caucus in Parliament.
As witnessed on the dawn of the
election of speaker for the eighth Parliament, Ursula
Owusu-Ekuful shoved off the veteran from his seat.
Ursula who appeared before the
Appointment Committee of Parliament on
Monday, February 16, 2021, in narrating her version of the incident disclosed
that she has duly apologized to Collins Dauda.
“The chair I was sitting on was
pulled from under me and I fell to my knees right where I am sitting; so when I
got up, instinctively, I made a connection that he [Collins Dauda] may have
been in cohorts with the gentleman who did that.
“And so I said, ‘if you are not
going to let me sit down, then I won’t let you sit on yours…I have apologised
to honourable Collins Dauda,
I am yet to receive an apology from honourable Ernest Norgbey who pulled the
chair and pushed me to my knees,” she said.
But this revelation by Ursula
was debunked by the MP for Techiman North, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare who told her
in the face that she has not apologized to the Collins Dauda.
Ofosu-Adjare told the committee
she had a conversation with Collins Dauda minutes
before the committee began yesterday’s sitting and the information she was
given is that no apology has been offered from Ursula’s end.
“I spoke with honourable Collins Dauda five minutes
before I entered this House and he told me you have failed to apologise to
him,” Ofosu-Agyare told Parliament’s Appointee Committee.
“My instruction is that you have not apologised to
Honourable Collins Dauda,” she stated.
