The founder of Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) Madam Akua Donkor, has broken her silence on why she is no longer seen at state functions after the exit of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government led by John Dramani Mahama.

She disclosed that she does not receive invites as she used to and in an attempt to find out from the State Protocol Department (SPD), she was told by one Mensah that her name is not among persons to be invited for such events as directed by the presidency.

Akua Donkor believes the current President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo despises not only her but Dr Hassan Ayariga of the All Peoples Congress (NDC) for which reason they have both been relegated to the background.

“Nana Addo does not like me and Hassan Ayariga. I am sure that is why he has directed them not invite me for state functions but I don’t care”, he revealed on Kumasi-based Abusua Fm.

She also denied claims that she has gone into hiding asking if she has committed any crime to warrant her embark on such a move.

“All I am telling you is that they have refused to invite me for state functions and when I tried to find out that was what I was told”, she explained.
