Lawyers for musician and activist Angel Maxine have rejected a demand for retraction and apology made on behalf of Member of Parliament Rev. John Ntim Fordjour.
In a response letter addressed to Mr. Lawrence L. K. Botchway Jnr., counsel for Rev. Fordjour, they (Angel Maxine’s legal team) said their client will not withdraw her statements.
The letter, signed by Oliver Barker-Vormawor of Merton & Eseverity LLP, stated that the comments in question were made as satire and political commentary.
According to the lawyers, the videos were part of her advocacy against the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill.
They explained that any reference to Rev. Fordjour was not meant to be taken as a factual claim about his private life.
Instead, they said it was used as an example to highlight what they describe as the dangers of the proposed law, including encouraging suspicion and public accusations.
The lawyers argued that the comments should be seen as fair comment on a matter of public interest.
They noted that Rev. Fordjour, as a public official and a sponsor of the bill, is subject to public scrutiny and criticism over policies he supports.
They denied claims that the videos were defamatory or made with malicious intent. According to them, their client did not aim to damage the reputation of the lawmaker.
Angel Maxine’s legal team made it clear that she will not issue the retraction and apology being demanded.
They added that she reserves the right to take further action if necessary.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
