Former Member of Parliament for Asokwa, Maxwell Kofi Jumah has rendered an unqualified apology to the Coalition of Concerned Teacher (CCT) over his comments in response to an ultimatum to the president-elect for the restoration of teacher trainee allowances.
The Former Deputy Local Government Minister and Rural Development described as ridiculous the call by the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) on president-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to restore teacher trainee allowances within its first 100 days in office.
Reacting to the coalition’s call, Mr Jumah said it was unfair on their part to give the incoming NPP an ultimatum.
“Nana Akufo-Addo made a promise and it spans for four years. But to put a gun to his head and give him an ultimatum of 100 days, that is what is ridiculous. If they know how to give ultimatums, I think that they should redirect their ultimatum to the previous government,” he stated.
But after being tongue-lashed for his comments, Mr Jumah claimed he was caught off guard while granting the interview and should therefore be pardoned.
He shared his apology on his official facebook wall.
“My friends, thanks for your advice and direction. It was never my intention to attack teachers as a whole. Indeed I am very much aware of the overwhelming support that the NPP got from teachers. I went overboard and I sincerely apologize for that. I was caught off guard. And it was very unfortunate. I sincerely believe Nana will deliver on his promise to our teachers and to Ghanaians. Once again accept my apologies”

Its such people who let their leaders down with their ***barred word*** comments.We just saw off a govt full of babies with sharp teeths that annoyed and insulted every Ghanaian who complained of the hardship under Pres Mahama.Nana Addo should advise such people and others like Kennedy Agyepong,Adomako Baafi and Hopeson Adoye to ***barred word*** when they have nothing better to communicate.Ghanaians hate arrogance and disrespect
That's good, even if they cannot get the say something that will pleased their hearts.
The Country is in good hands, he has been propmted. That is what the NDC lacks!
Pls kindly keep mute,they voted for Npp because they believe in our policies and promises,if you have nothing to say pls keep quiet
BETTER FOR YOU AND LEARN TO SHARRRRAP
Kofi always think before you talk. Such unneccesary and provocative talks can affect the goodwill and fortunes of the NPP. You should know that the party is not yet in power until 7th January.Thank you
better
Kofi Juma is always in the news for the wrong reasons. He is a loose cannon who will do a disservice to the Akufo Addo admin if he is not controlled. Why do you always have to apologize for something that you have done? It is because you always react on impulse instead of thinking deeply before responding to someone's comments. You are almost fifty years and you should talk and act as such. Sammy Awuku who is the youth leader of NPP and in his early thirties is better in control of his actions and the way he speaks. Kofi has insulted Patricia Apeagyei in unprintable words, he has vandalized election material during NPP primaries and sent to court, and on several he has had to apologize for these infractions. Kofi must live like a middle aged man and stop behaving like a student.
