Claim: A viral tweet allegedly from Ursula Owusu-Ekuful warns followers she will not tolerate disrespect after her loss in the Ablekuma West Constituency parliamentary elections. 

Source: X (Archived here)

Verdict: False! 
Explanation: The X (formerly Twitter) account that made the viral tweet is not the official X account of Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the Communication and Digitalization Minister and Ablekuma West MP. Her official account on X is @UrsulaOw NOT @UrsulaOwusu_. In the bio for @UrsulaOwusu_ it is stated that the account is a parody one.
