Veteran Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur, Akofa Edjeani joined thousands of concerned citizens to partake in the Inter-party coalition’s ‘Aagbe Wo Demonstration’ held earlier today in Accra, Ghana.
According to the ‘Sidechic gang’ actress, she feels threatened by the violence exhibited at the Ayawaso West Woguon Constituency by-election.
Akofa who sounded extremely passionate also stated that as Ghanaians, we ought not to belong to any political party to determine what is wrong or not.
“The unfortunate incident which occurred during the recently-held Ayawaso West Woguon by-elections is a shame in our political landmark and a dent on the democracy of a country as revered as Ghana.
Irrespective of our political, religious or societal affiliations, I think we should be able to condemn such acts without regrets. Before anything else, we’re first of all known as Ghanaians.
That is the major link between all of us here in Ghana. What transpired during that election is a Ghanaian problem first before any political party’s problem. It is for this reason that I joined other concerned citizens today for the ‘Aagbe Wo Demonstration’.” She said.
Asked if her decision to join in the demonstration was necessitated by political-will, the celebrated actress had this to say: “I wish to state that my decision to join this demonstration has nothing to do with politics. As citizens of Ghana, we need not be a member of any political party to understand that this violence could be a precursor of what could happen in 2020."
"As a mother and a concerned citizen of Ghana, I do know how dangerous civil wars could be and I know as well that women and children face the biggest challenges in times of war. Do we wish to be refugees? Where do we head to as refugees? Don’t we love the peace we’ve enjoyed in Ghana all these years? We do not have a reason to joke with our peace.”

Aaaaah! Akorfa ! Why take such a miscalculated gamble by aligning yourself to l1ars, l1ars and $ham£less l1ars? Why reduce your stock and risk every reputation you've made over the years? I am very sad and d1sappointed in you. Did you voice your disagreement when the let my vote count demonstrators were physically a$$aulted by the NDC sponsored +ugs? You are +ain+ed for good for your misjudged action.
wise woman
“The unfortunate incident which occurred during the recently-held Ayawaso West Woguon by-elections is a shame in our political landmark and a dent on the democracy of a country as revered as Ghana'. Good to know, but toooooooo late to say this. Where was she when people were shot at Chrepony, Akwatia, Asonafo South etc? We can't allow NDC to dictate the pace and tell us what to do even when they are in opposition. NDc and her supporters do not want the good works that NPP/Nana Addo have done in JUST 2yrs of their reign to come out! But the people will surely know. WICKED NDC!
we will never eat from your restourant again. you are biased.
People lets stop this negative comments about her.This is an attack on a woman's freedom of expression.We say we don't like the"bloody widow" placards,why are we attacking another woman for expressing her filling by joining a demonstration?
she is jobl3ss. that is why
WHERE WERE YOU DURING CHEREPONY AND ATIWA JUST TO MENTION A FEW.
