Throwback: Hilarious moment with Akua Donkor that left Ghanaians in stitches

Akua Donkor, the late founder of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), was known not just for her fiery political views but also for her unfiltered humor and unapologetic candor, which endeared her to many Ghanaians. Her appearances on TV and radio interviews often delivered comic relief, whether intended or not, as she spoke in her uniquely straightforward style.

One unforgettable moment was her bold promise to construct a free "railway system across Ghana" using unconventional methods, an idea that sparked laughter and admiration in equal measure as she passionately defended her vision. Another classic was her lighthearted response when asked about a complex policy matter; she cheekily replied, “Forget policies, I am here for the farmers,” which left both the interviewer and audience chuckling.

During one campaign, she famously declared she would build hotels in every village, making a case for it with the conviction of someone with an unbreakable dream. Her quips, confidence, and sometimes unconventional solutions to national issues were undeniably part of her charm, bringing smiles to Ghanaians from all walks of life.

In memory of her vibrant spirit, these hilarious moments serve as a reminder of Akua Donkor's enduring impact and unique place in Ghanaian politics.
