Afua Asantewaa shares what she got government

Buttressing her point, Afua Asantewaa said the only thing she received was medicine to cure her sore throat which even came from the former vice president, Dr, Mahamudu Bawurnia.

"I didn't receive anything from the government. The only thing I got was a medicine to heal my throat, and that was from the former vice president. When he visited me during the performance, she said in that interview.

Afua Asantewaa added although most gifts presented to her during the event never actually reached her, some individuals and organisations supported her with gifts.

"I was working with a team, so most of these things went through them. Also, some people in T-shirts had my name, I don't even have a list that contains the names of people who supported me financially," she told the host Nana Romeo.

Many fans were taken aback to discover that Afua Asantewaa only received throat medicine from the government, but it seems there might be more to the story than netizens first thought.
