Ghanaian actress and TV personality Grace Omaboe, famed Maame Dokono, addressed long-standing rumors about her alleged relationship with the late former President Jerry John Rawlings.
At an event at the Silverbird Cinemas in Accra on July 30, 2024, the ‘By the Fireside’ star firmly denied rumours that she was ever the girlfriend of the former President.
“Some said they heard that I was the girlfriend of President Rawlings. Who is that person? Ah. I was never the girlfriend of President Rawlings,” Maame Dokono stated with clear conviction, putting to rest speculations that have lingered over the years.
During the event, which celebrated her 80th birthday and her 60-year career in Ghanaian movies, Maame Dokono also shared stories about her journey into politics.
She explained that Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, the former First Lady, was the one who introduced her to the political scene.
“Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings dragged me into politics. I joined both parties and if your party doesn’t win, you suffer and I really suffered for it. So I left politics,” she said, describing the difficulties she faced.
In addition to discussing her past, she announced the release of her new book, which will come out on August 7, 2024.
