The actress who starred in House of Gold disclosed in her book that she and some friends went to congratulate then president-elect, Nana Akufo-Addo, and as part of the courtesies, took a photo with him.
"It is a photograph I regret taking," she was blunt.
For Yvonne, Akufo-Addo came to the presidency with enormous goodwill but has failed to live up to expectations.
"He had been projected as a no-nonsense disciplinarian who would not hesitate to crack the whip on errant appointees. He was said to be incorruptible, and Ghanaians thought he was going to be the antidote to mass stealing at the highest level, which is euphemised as corruption. Unfortunately for
"Ghana and those who trusted in him, he has turned out to be a monumental disappointment whose government’s unbridled borrowing, corruption and reckless spending plunged the nation into an economic dumsor.
"By the end of the first term of Akufo-Addo’s presidency, many Ghanaians had begun to lose hope, not only in him but also in the country and its politics. It was not strange that his party nearly lost the parliamentary majority it commanded in the first term," she wrote.
