Quotes

• “Sometimes I ask myself, ‘have I done anything apart from Miss Ghana?’. It is as if my life is limited to Miss Ghana but you know, I’ve got brains too and have many potentials that have been limited to Miss Ghana.”
• “I quite remember when I was selected as the vice presidential candidate of the PPP, every time my name was mentioned, being a former Miss Ghana always preceded without mention of my professional ventures and engagements and that was quite interesting .”
• “My brand cannot be affected in any way, not at all. November 3 will be 30 years since I was crowned Miss Ghana and so perhaps, I am now Miss Ghana’s grandmother. It is my sincerest wish that they will overcome the challenges .”
• “I had public exposure through Miss Ghana and although I was not publicly politically inclined, I have had a lot of influence. I have worked for years and built a bigger constituency and led a good life for people to testify that I am a good person. I didn’t have to officially be part of any political party to qualify for that position .”
• “I don’t take it for granted; I recognize the enormity of the task ahead of us, and with God’s help, I am ready to take the bull by the horns and forge boldly ahead .”
• “We have governed in an ‘us-against-them’ manner, a competition in mediocrity rather than in excellence that has deeply divided the country and led to an inequality that characterises almost every sector — jobs, education, health and the economy. This has resulted in many Ghanaian businesses’ inability to excel and a youth without hope .”
