President John Mahama’s cousin and adviser, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has been under fire from internet users who have gone to social media to voice their dislike of her recent remarks.
Known for being vocal, Joyce Mogtari has been criticized for being intolerant and emotionally dim-witted.
The dispute started when Mogtari said she had nothing valuable to contribute to the complaints made by New Patriotic Party (NPP) members.
Some people thought that she was not taking their worries seriously, and they viewed her attitude as dismissive and arrogant.
Netizens were quick to point out Mogtari’s perceived hypocrisy, citing instances where she had been critical of the NPP and its members, particularly former Second Lady, Samira Bawumia.
Some accused her of being fixated on Samira Bawumia, suggesting that she competed with the former Second Lady.
Joyce Mogtari’s supporters, however, have come to her defense, arguing that she is being unfairly targeted by the NPP and its supporters.
They point out that she has been a vocal critic of the NPP’s policies and actions, and that her comments are simply a reflection of her commitment to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its values.
The controversy surrounding Mogtari’s comments has sparked a wider debate about the role of social media in politics and the nature of online discourse.
While some argue that social media provides a valuable platform for politicians and citizens to engage with each other, others contend that it can also be a breeding ground for hate speech and personal attacks.
