She explained that, ‘bloody widow’ in reference to Madam Lydia Alhassan was not meant to denigrate her but to just to express their displeasure about the violence in the by-election.

The Minority has been condemned for brandishing placards describing the widow of late MP for Ayawaso West Wougon constituency as a “bloody widow”.

But justifying their position on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Wednesday, said the Minority did nothing wrong.

Per Google definition, the Krachi West MP said ‘bloody widow’ could mean ‘a woman whose husband or wife has died and who has not married again or a woman whose partner is often not at home because he or she is fishing or playing football or golf’.
