Broadcaster Bridget Otoo is calling for a retraction and an apology from a presidential staffer whom she alleges spread falsehoods about her travel history abroad.

In response to a critical post directed at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo by the broadcaster, Charles Nii Teiko Tagoe implied that Bridget had been stranded in London at one point.

"Perhaps it's time you tell your husband and the world about the night you were stranded in London. I await your reply patiently," Teiko posted on X in response to Bridget's critique.

In her reply, the Metro TV journalist wrote: "I haven’t been to London before. Let's try another country,"

In her subsequent post addressing the matter, she urged Nii Teiko to provide evidence to support his assertion or delete his post entirely, accompanied by an unequivocal apology to her.

"We are approaching 48 hours since this tweet was posted. I expect the head of social media at the presidency to prove his allegation or remove the tweet and offer an unqualified apology to me. No, I've never been to the UK or London before, but just imagine if I had, and consider what he is insinuating. It's in your own interest to do so," her post from May 2, 2024, read.

In response to her request, numerous users are suggesting that she take legal action against the presidential staffer for defamation instead.

"His tweet was very distasteful. The insinuations alone could be grounds for a lawsuit. Such statements can end a marriage or a relationship. What is he implying happened in London? @Bridget_Otoo, this should not be just about apologies," one X user wrote.

"You could pursue a $2 billion lawsuit," another suggested.

"This is how you can win at least 10 million cedis. Sue the individual and the presidency or the Flagstaff House. First, establish in court that his social media activities are part of his job. Second, prove that he sometimes receives information from his superiors for social media. Then sue," another advised.

"Madam, you have a 200 thousand Ghana cedi lawsuit on your hands… and trust me, you will win easily. They have provided the evidence themselves; it was premeditated—a well-planned act of character defamation, clear proof of power abuse. Sue them!" a fourth commenter added.

Bridget's initial post pertained to a recent viral video showing the president requesting certain chiefs to stand and greet him during an event.

At the time of this report, Teiko, an Executive Assistant at the Office of the President at Jubilee House, has not furnished any evidence to substantiate his assertion.
