Akua Donkor, Wontumi Communications dragged to court for alleging Mahama is ‘Papa No’

Founder of the Ghana Freedom Party Akua Donkor has been dragged to court alongside Wontumi Communications for alleging that former President John Mahama is the face behind the controversial phrase ‘Papa No’.

The plaintiff, only identified as Mary Awusi is demanding a total of ¢1,000,000 from the defendants for claiming that she is having an affair with Mr Mahama.

This comes after Akua Donkor who doubles as the flagbearer of the Ghana Freedom Party granted an interview to Oheneba Nana Asiedu, host of Ashanti Region-based Wontumi FM.

During the interview, Akua Donkor alleged that the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is ‘Papa No’ and is also responsible for the two children of the 2016 NDC parliamentary candidate for Asante Akim North.

‘Papa No’ became popular on social media after actress Tracey Boakye used it repeatedly to describe a married man she claims she and musician Mzbel are in the same relationship with.

After her comments, there have been speculations about who ‘Papa No’ is with many especially on the side of NPP alleging that former President Mahama is’Papa No’.

This time, however, the two could not get away with the claim as they are being dragged to court for the allegations.

Madam Awusi wants general damages of ¢300,000 to be awarded by the court against Akua Donkor, ¢100,000 in general damages against Oheneba Nana Asiedu, as well as ¢600,000 as punitive damages against the defendants which also include Wontumi Communications Limited.

Wontumi Communications Limited is a multimedia conglomerate owned by the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Bernard Antwi Boasiako (alias Chairman Wontumi).

She is also demanding a retraction and apology and a restraining order to prevent them from making such utterances.
