She clarified her motives in a video shared by 1957News:
“What I did was to rescue the soul of the country. It is sad that some people think I did it for personal interest. It was to rescue the soul of this country, and I say this with so much passion. I am NDC now, and I will continue to stay with the umbrella until I die,” she said.
Despite being labelled a betrayer and a snitch by critics, Rosemond maintained that leaving the destiny of Ghana in the hands of Dr Bawumia was a risk the country could not afford.
She also corrected public misconceptions regarding the timing of her exit, explaining that she had resigned from working with Dr Bawumia months before making her public announcement to join the NDC.
