The US professional nurse and philanthropist Michelle McGowan who accused NDC's National Women's Organiser of threatening her life has apologised for making such a remark.
Ms.McGowan was in Ghana to support the treatment of three children with strange skin diseases in Jirapa District of the Upper West region.
They were diagnosed with dermatitis, a rough skin condition for which reason they were called alligator kids. Speaking on Adom FM's �Dwaso Nsem� Monday, Ms.McGowan felt sorry for damaging Anita De Sooso's reputation, saying, �I am offering my heartfelt apology to her for any damage my statements have caused her�.
Following the supposed threat, Anita De Sooso was banned from entering the United States. She was prevented from boarding a Delta Airline flight to New York at the Kotoka International Airport on Monday, August 4, 2014.
She was to join President John Mahama for a conference in the US.
Ms.McGowan indicated that the "Anti-Corruption Squad tracked Anita. "I don�t know what information they gathered on her but they flagged her when, instead of going for a conference in New York, she went to California. The conference was for a week but she never made an appearance at the conference.�
Ms. McGowan continued �anything that I did to her, as a sister in Christ, I�m sorry it is unfortunate that things happened the way they did.�
According to her, it was never her intention to hurt Anita because �we are not supposed to hurt each other so if you hurt anyone; you must apologise and it was never my intention to hurt her.�
Anita De Sooso, on the other hand, accepted the apology and advised Ms. McGowan not to allow herself to be manipulated by anyone.
�Do not allow anyone to use you. Next time, try to tell the public the truth because what you said hurt me, but because God is alive, I have been able to come out of it,� she stated.
The purpose of Ms.McGowan's call was to bring lasting peace between both parties, realizing, the horrible things which had come out of the comments she made.
