Akofa Edjeani has shared in an interview the impact of politics on her restaurant business.

The veteran actress, recognized for her roles in classic films such as Mataa and Harvest At 17, disclosed that due to rumours linking her to the National Democratic Congress, rival political groups boycotted her establishment, ultimately causing its downfall.

She mentioned that despite offering her cooking services to various boards and organizations, her proposals were consistently rejected based on her alleged affiliation with the NDC.

Akofa expressed bewilderment at being associated with a political party she had never publicly endorsed.

She emphasized her willingness to openly support a political party regardless of the consequences.

“I closed it down. Well, let’s say I was tired. I started running at a loss so I decided to close it. I wasn’t getting enough. You know after COVID everything got down. Everything got messed up. I got tagged that my place was an NDC place, ” she told Amansan Krakye on Property FM.

She added, “If you send proposals to the board that you want to serve them food they say no this is an NDC person. I don’t know where I said I’m an NDC person.

I’ve been neutral for a very long time. I have a lot of friends in NPP and I still know a lot of people in NDC. But NPP said I’m NDC so this time I might simply go all out.”

As far as entertainment news in Ghana is concerned, Akofa is a prominent figure.

Akofa Edjeani is a well-respected Ghanaian actress, producer, and entrepreneur. Her short film, Not My Daughter, which addresses the issue of female genital mutilation, received the Best Short Film award at the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) in 2008.
