Controversial Ghanaian sports personality, Patrick Osei Agyemang who is known as Countryman Songo has spoken about an encounter he had with the daughter of former Ghanaian president, JJ Rawlings, Dr. Zanetor Rawlings.
According to him, the member of Parliament for the Korley Klottey constituency saved him from hunger at a point during their time at Achimota School.
He made this known during a recent interview on Asempa FM and in his submission, he said;
“There was a day I was famished. It was break time…one interesting thing was that Zanetor had bodyguards meaning all other students had maximum protection. Students who attended Achimota those days felt so proud. You will mostly spot her car and the bodyguards monitoring every move.
I was hungry and went looking for my cousin, thinking I will get some food. I spotted Zanetor setting alone so I approached her. I said hello and she responded calmly and asked how I was also doing.
I said I was hungry and so she offered me her toast and tea in her flask, I ate it. The interesting thing was that I took food from the president’s daughter.
Zanetor was a fantastic student. She swept all the awards at our speech and prize-giving day. We all cheered her not because of her status but based on merit. She was a brilliant student, even Twi language, she did great, she was lovely.
You won’t see her all over but she was approachable and lovely.”
