Former presidential aspirant on the ticket of Ghana Freedom Party, Madam Akua Donkor has landed herself in trouble for what has been described as defamatory remarks against former President John Dramani Mahama.

The legal suit which was filed by one Mary Awusi also included a journalist, Oheneba Nana Asiedu who works with Wontumi radio and Wontumi Communications in the Ashanti Region.

Mary Awusi is seeking GHC1 million from the defendants who in a radio interaction implied that the new cliché attribution ‘Papa No’ refers to former president Mahama.

After news of the legal suit broke, some Ghanaians took to their various social media pages to share their thoughts about it.
