Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has described Anita Desoso’s apology to former President Jerry John Rawlings as “sycophancy at the highest level”, at the recently-held 39th anniversary of the June 4 Uprising.
National Vice Chairperson of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Anita Desoso begged former President Jerry John Rawlings to forgive the party for their behaviour towards him.
Mr Rawlings, who looked away during the whole drama, later chastised Ms Desoso for bleaching and admonished her to put a stop to such behaviour.
In Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe’s view, Ms Desoso’s action to beg for forgiveness was purely sycophantic and must be frowned upon.
“Look at what happened with NDC’s June 4th, I mean a whole person, a lady to go and kneel before somebody begging him; I mean I don’t understand it. Sycophancy.
“And what was interesting is that the person you want to plead with had his face somewhere else, he wasn’t even looking at you.
“Sycophancy at the highest level; that is what is creeping into our society and it is dangerous. … Our leaders, maybe right down from independence have been behaving the same way, they don’t want to be told: ‘You are going wrong here, come this way’, they’ll get annoyed. Right down from Nkrumah’s time…” Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe told KKB on Ghanaweb’s 21 Minutes programme.
