Legendary Ghanaian actress and TV personality, Grace Omaboe, otherwise known as Maame Dokono, has dispelled long standing rumors about her alleged romantic relationship with the late former President Jerry John Rawlings.
Speaking at the press launch of her yet-to-be released autobiography titled ‘The Unforgettable’, Maame Dokono clarified that she was never President Rawlings’ girlfriend, addressing speculations that have persisted for years.
“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,” she clarified.
The ‘By the Fire Side’ star further recounted her political journey, revealing that it was Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings who introduced her to politics. She also described the ordeals she went through as a result of her involvement in politics.
“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 explained.
The actress’ book, which will be officially unveiled on September 7, 2024 will cover various aspects of her life, including delivering all six of her children via C-section, her experiences with Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, and her time in the movie industry, among other topics.
