Family of former school feeding coordinator demands apology, retraction from Adwoa Safo

The family of the late former school feeding coordinator, Akosua Adwoa Safo, is demanding an apology and retraction from Member of Parliament Adwoa Safo following remarks made during a radio interview. Safo allegedly referred to the deceased as “an ordinary person” and claimed she had no contributions to her success in her political career. This statement has angered the family, who argue that it disrespects both the memory of their loved one and her significant contributions to society.

In response to Safo's comments, family spokesperson Patrick Akwasi Mensah emphasized that they expect accountability for what they perceive as derogatory remarks. They believe that such statements not only undermine Akosua Adwoa Safo’s legacy but also show a lack of respect for women who have served diligently in public roles. The family insists on a formal acknowledgment from Safo to mitigate the perceived damage caused by her words.

The incident highlights broader issues regarding respect and recognition for individuals who serve in public capacities, especially women. As the family seeks reconciliation through an apology, they hope to bring attention to the importance of honoring those who have significantly contributed to community development.
