I’m sad Akufo-Addo has sidelined me – Akua Donkor

The founder of the Ghana Freedom Party, Akua Donkor has said she will sue President Akufo-Addo for stealing and implementing the Free SHS policy which was her idea without acknowledging her.

President Akufo-Addo implemented the free SHS policy which has been the most touted policy of the government since the 2012.

The President has been praised by the International Community for the policy which will set Ghana’s education on a higher pedestal and also grant access to people who hitherto would have stayed home without accessing education because of poverty.

But speaking in an interview with the Daily Heritage Newspaper, Madam Akua Donkor bemoaned the President’s utter disregard for her and the fact that the Preident and his NPP has failed to acknowledge her for her idea they stole. She was sad that the President does not invite her for his programmes.

She said“As soon as Nana Addo set his eyes on my posters [in 2012] and saw my message, he started talking about running a free senior high school programme”.

“…Free education was my idea. Nana Akufo Addo’s ideas were All Die-Be-Die and ex-president Mahama also came with “Edee bee keke. President Akufo Addo has sidelined me and does not invite me for his programmes and therefore I cannot support him,” Akua Donkor added.
