The running mate of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), Adakabre Frimpong Manso has described his party’s flagbearer, Akua Donkor as someone who has what it takes to transform Ghana to a better satisfaction than any other personality or political party.
To him, Madam Donkor’s ability to make prudent economic, political and social policies to shape national development is enough grounds why anyone would like to partner such a fine brain.
Speaking in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Citi FM, he said despite the ‘comedian tag’ on Akua Donkor’s personality, it is not surprising that some policies promised by the GFP leader in the past are being implemented by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) given the visionary qualities of his flagbearer.
“I have known Akua Donkor since 2012 and I have come to have greater belief in her and what she stands for but unfortunately, people seem to think she is like a comedian. But then, Akua Donkor makes a lot of sense when you evaluate what she stands for. In 2012, Akua Donkor talked about giving free education to Ghanaians and as it is now, the President of the Republic has given Ghanaians free education. So, Akua Donkor could tell it from 2012”.
He added, “At the launch of her [Akua Donkor’s] manifesto, she talked about giving GHS10,000 per tonne as the price of cocoa. Less than 10 days later, the current government led by Nana Akufo-Addo gave out GHS10,000 per tonne of cocoa. So, you can think of Akua Donkor as a comedian, but she has a lot of home sense. She may not be highly educated, but she has a grasp of what the ordinary Ghanaian requires”.
