Gender advocate Alimatu Issahak has taken aim at Ellen Ama Daaku, an aide to former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, urging her to show restraint in her public commentary. 

Madam Alimatu described Daaku’s recent remarks against government officials as “unguarded” and counterproductive.

“Ellen must peg herself. Her recent unguarded statements don’t help anybody, including herself,” Alimatu told reporters.

She questioned Daaku’s academic standing, asking: “Who does she think she is, and how did she end up in UPSA as a lecturer?”

According to Alimatu, Daaku has consistently targeted senior government figures, including the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa. 

She argued that such attacks not only damage political discourse but also undermine Daaku’s own credibility.

Calling for greater responsibility in political communication, Alimatu said public figures must avoid comments that inflame tensions. 

“Our national politics deserves civility and respect.

Ellen must rise above insults and contribute constructively if she wants to be taken seriously,” she added.
