The newly elected Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency, Madam Lydia Seyram Alhassan has said that she has forgiven his political rivals over the "Bloody Widow" placard.
Madam Lydia Seyram Alhassan, has described as regrettable and despicable, the treatment meted out to her by the minority members of parliament during her swearing-in.
During the swearing-in on Tuesday, the Minority brandished placards with the inscription: “Bloody Widow” following a violent by-election leading to her victory.
Madam Alhassan said she was even more surprised to see opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) women, who are supposed to be caring and show support to her, join the men in this inhuman treatment.
Nevertheless, the MP said, “I have forgiven them and I have also asked God to forgive them.”
The Minority in Parliament staged a walk out during her swearing-in, in protest of the violence that rocked the by-election held last week Thursday.
“I don’t know what their interest is but I will say that I have forgiven them and I ask our good Lord to forgive all of them.
"They are the same people who are always advocating that more women join the house . . . I believe time will heal my wounds and it will definitely tell my story,” she sadly said.

I pray that you ***barred word*** chastising her feel the same pain she's going through and it shall surely come to pass.. Heartless bunch of people
Why won't you leave everything to God when vigilante terrorism has transformed you from what should be a grieving widow into a celebrant widow. You should never have run if you had any respect for the customs and traditions of widowhood. And even when you defied culture for the sake of power, you should have done the honourable and asked not to continue when you saw the blood of your constituents flowing in your name. Kai, na what kind widow be this?
This is politics. So you have long way to go. You will forgive till thy give come.
Forgive them in which way? the allowances and the salary you are now about to enjoy, are you going to give some to your fellow widow of your late husband and the children? Shame on you
