Speaking on the sidelines of the funeral, Philip Kwabena Agyeman, popularly known as Roman Fada, who was chosen as the running mate by Akua Donkor for the 2024 election, opened up about his preparedness to continue the legacy of his late boss.

"I will contest, We will continue our mother's legacy, God gives time to each individual, if he wills, we will contest,"

When quizzed about his assessment of the new John Mahama-led administration, Roman Fada said it was too early to make any pronouncement on the performance of the new government.

Rather, he called on Ghanaians to be patient and offer whatever support this government would need to help it govern the country.

"The thing is that our father(Mahama) has not been in office for long, just this 7th January, I don't think he has been in office for 100 days. What I would say is that, let's be patient let us pray for him, let's support Mahama with good intentions. Let's not say he is not in our party or he is NDC, he is the father for all, let's support him and give him time. For now, you cannot say you are judging John Mahama. All I will say is let's give him time."
