The Techiman North MP, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare has said the Communications Minister-designate's claim of apologising to the Asutifi South MP is untrue.
According to her, before the start of Ursula Owusu-Ekuful’s vetting on Monday, she had contacted Collins Dauda to find out if the nominee had apologised to him after she shoved him off his chair during the inauguration of the 8th Parliament.
“I spoke with honourable Collins Dauda five minute before I entered this House and he told me you have failed to apologise to him,” Ofosu-Agyare told Parliament's Appointee Committee.
The Communications Minister-designate during her vetting, revealed that she had apologized to her fellow colleague for unprovoked attack during the wee hours of January 7.
The heated clash was triggered by her refusal to join her colleagues at the NPP Caucus despite the takeover of the NDC Caucus.
She insisted to sit in the area despite calls by the NDC MPs for her to vacate her seat.
In the process of fighting to sit on her seat, Ursula was caught on camera pushing the former Housing Minister off his seat.
Explaining her actions, she told the Appointment Committee that she shoved Collins Dauda off his seat in an attempt to get revenge after the MP for Ashaiman, Ernest Norgbey pulled out her chair which led to her fall.
According to Mrs Owusu-Ekuful, she assumed Mr Dauda was the mastermind behind Ernest Norgbey’s attack but later found out that her assumptions were wrong and has since rendered an apology to the MP.
“The chair I was sitting on was pulled from under me and I fell to my knees right where I am sitting; so when I got up, instinctively, I made a connection that he [Collins Dauda] may have been in cohorts with the gentleman who did that.
“And so I said, ‘if you are not going to let me sit down, then I won’t let you sit on yours...I have apologised to honourable Collins Dauda, I am yet to receive an apology from honourable Ernest Norgbey who pulled the chair and pushed me to my knees,” she said.
However, Mrs Ofosu-Agyare debunked her claim insisting that she has failed to apologise to Mr Dauda for wrongfully attacking him.
"My instruction is that you have not apologised to Honourable Collins Dauda," she stated.
