Vivian Jill Aims for School Feeding Contract, NDC Member Threatens Her To Stand Down

• A National Women's Organiser affiliated with the National Democratic Congress has allegedly threatened actress Vivian Jill Lawrence
• The politician warned the actress not to step into her jurisdiction to implement the contract entrusted to her
• An audio of the politician airing her views on Vivian Jill's appointment has many concerned for the actress' safety

Ghanaian actress Vivian Jill Lawrence has become a critical concern for many fans after her ambition to become a school feeding contractor emerged online.

Vivian Jill Lawrence, who campaigned for the National Democratic Congress led by John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 elections, has reportedly been awarded a contract in the Ahafo Ano South constituency.

In an interview with Akoma FM, Baah Acheamfour, the Ashanti Regional Deputy Secretary for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), spoke about the matter.

Reports indicate that the decision to award Vivian Jill a school feeding contract has caused tension in Ahafo Ano South.

An audio leak making rounds online captured one woman identified as the National Democratic Congress' Women's organiser accusing the party's national leaders of ignoring staunch supporters like her who contributed to the campaign.

"I've told Vivian Jill herself that she will face my wrath if she steps here to fulfil the contract," the women's organiser angrily said.

The actress was among several entertainers who were involved in the National Democratic Congress' campaign.

Last year, the actress and her team were spotted at several polling stations sharing food with voters.

The actress was later invited to John Dramani Mahama's Thanksgiving dinner after the president was sworn in on January 7.

At the event, the actress met John Mahama's wife, Lordina. She held Vivian Jill's hands for a heartwarming greeting, showcasing her strong ties to the presidential family.

The actress has yet to respond to the threat on her life and the allegations about her school feeding contract.

Vivian supported amid attacks over government contract

YEN.com.gh gathered a few comments from Ghanaians in reaction to the news that Vivian Jill has been threatened over a purported school feeding contract.

Kwamena Richie said:

"This national organiser for the NDC is just bragging. Vivian can easily come and do it without any fear. This bragger wants to end up in jail because she is not the final authority in Ghana, or she has taken Ghana laws into her armpit 🤣🤣😂😂."

preddyawo wrote:

"My uncle's wife is now 6 feet down because of the school feeding program. Vivian Jill should be careful or protect herself before it's too late."

umar Fati shared:

"Buh does she think the law works like that?. She can be sued for assault, and this is a threat."

Afia noted:

"Ok, she should report this to the police asap, Ghana is not for her to restrict access to town for people to work."

Vivian Jill's Political ties

Vivian Jill, who is a celebrated Ghanaian actress, broke onto the scene in the heyday of the Kumasi movie era. Even though she has not publicly declared for any political party, many have speculated about her political affiliations.

Early this year, after John Dramani Mahama was sworn in as the president of the Republic of Ghana, he held a thanksgiving dinner, and a guest at that dinner was Vivian Jill. A video from the event went viral, and it showed the First Lady, Madam Lordina Mahama, and the actress sharing a warm embrace and a friendly peck on the cheek. This gesture enforced the already growing speculation that Vivian has heavy ties with the NDC.

Another such instance is when Afia Schwar made some unverified claims that Vivian Jill was romantically involved with a high-ranking NDC official. Although these claims cannot be verified, it leaves the door open for public judgment to believe Vivian Jill is a supporter of the National Democratic Congress.

Ebi Bright starts work after losing MP race

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Ebi Bright, who lost the race to become Tema Central MP on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress, has started work in her new role.

On April 23, John Dramani Mahama nominated Ebi Bright. Her approval made her the first female mayor of Tema.

She began operating in her new role on May 12. On her first day, Ebi Bright was given a familiarisation tour of the assembly and its departments and staff.
